AREZZO
The future of Emiliano Pattarello (in the photo) risks making the amaranth summer red hot. The declarations of Accardi (“Arezzo wants to focus on us, but he wants B”), agent of the Venetian winger, added fuel to the fire. Arezzo considers him the untransferable number 10 and a cornerstone of the new technical project that is starting with Troise, also thanks to the renewal of his contract until 2027 with a substantial salary increase signed in January. If the objective is to raise the bar, depriving oneself of the highest quality and most prospective element would complicate the plans also because it would then be necessary to find a suitable replacement. On the other hand, having to forcefully keep a player against your will can have a boomerang effect. A transfer of Pattarello could only be taken into consideration for an indispensable offer from Serie B or perhaps in exchange for a technical compensation considered valid with a possible adjustment. The relations between sporting director Cutolo and the player’s entourage are good and therefore we will try to find mediation to prevent a legitimate aspiration to move up in category from leading to a tug of war with the club. In the meantime, these are hot days for the future of Coccia and Mawuli. Cutolo will try to understand if there is room to renegotiate the loans of the left back and midfielder with Modena and Sud Tirol.
For the defense we continue to monitor Nicolò Gigli, whose contract with Rimini is expiring. Troise knows the central defender who scored 4 goals last season with the Romagna players well. The negotiation has started even if For a defender who arrives, there are two who could have their bags in hand. These are Giacomo Risaliti and Lorenzo Polvani. Livorno is interested in the first, Pistoiese is also interested in the second. Their situation is evolving and will be monitored in the coming weeks where it will be necessary to understand if the two players will take the offers into consideration and if Arezzo still considers them functional to the project. The market entry operations will depend on the outcome of the negotiation for the renewal of Coccia’s loan and the fate of Polvani and Risaliti. The same goes for the midfield where Castiglia and Foglia will hang up their boots to start a new experience. Yesterday, meanwhile, Andrea Settembrini gave a nice surprise to the kids who are doing the summer camp at the municipal stadium. The captain, returning from holidays, stopped to greet the many children present with whom he exchanged a few words, took photos and signed autographs. Finally, this evening, the Amaranto Museum, led by president Stefano Butti, will donate a commemorative plaque to Fabio Cini’s wife on the occasion of the first anniversary of the premature death of the former amaranth. The delivery will take place during the dinner in memory of Cini which will take place at the Chiassa Sporting Club sports centre. In addition to his wife Patrizia, his son and former teammates will be present.
