Having completed the Troise staff – of which Castiglia will not be part – the market can now begin to really come to life. Starting from the defense, we will try to renegotiate the loan with Modena for Lorenzo Coccia. The 2002 left back, owned by the Canaries, is a prospect they want to focus on next year too. Leg player who makes offensive propulsion his best quality. Due to his characteristics he can play either in a four-man defense or as a full-back. A flexibility that Troise himself considers precious and functional to his football philosophy. Ductility that Alberto Montini certainly has. The 2001 class can play on both flanks and will be a cornerstone of the full-backs for next season too. It is no coincidence that in recent months he has renewed until 2026 with the option for another year. He will be joined in the summer retreat by Rjan Maloku, the class of 2004 who stood out at Aglianese, in Serie D, where he collected 32 appearances, 2 goals and 4 assists, far from few for a defender. A central defender will certainly arrive considering Masetti’s long injury (torn cruciate) which will keep him out at least until the end of 2024. The positions of Polvani and Risalti need to be evaluated.
Both are under contract and has no intention of selling them. It is well known that they are two protégés of Indians and it is not excluded that a courtship could start from Livorno.
In midfield, Cutolo would like to start from Shaka Mawuli. As with Coccia with Modena, the sporting director will try to get the loan renewal from SudTirol, which holds the Ghanaian’s contract. Castiglia and Foglia will have to be replaced in the midfield. The latter now seems oriented towards quitting to start a managerial career in the youth team. Among the unders returning to the parent company, Simone Fiore will be given a chance in training camp, fresh from an excellent championship with Romana Fc, which ended with the victory in the playoffs in group G where Cavese won promotion. For the midfielder 34 total appearances, 3 goals and 2 assists. The same goes for him as for Maloku: it will be up to Troise to evaluate them to understand if they are already ready to make the leap.
In attack the priority is a central striker who completes the department. And here, we will need a player who can make the leap in quality at an offensive level. If you want to reach the top of the department, to raise the infamous bar, an economic effort will also be needed. Pattarello, who the Serie B clubs continue to keep their eyes on, will only leave due to an indispensable offer, while the position of Iori who returns after six months at Pergolettese is more nuanced. His future will be decided after a discussion with sporting director Cutolo.
