He beats it. The first of a market that is already heating up, even if the doors will officially open in about ten days. For the defensive department, Nicolò Gigli arrives permanently from Rimini: the central defender born in 1996, left-footed, has signed a two-year contract and will meet again with the coach Emanuele Troise, who used him in thirty games last season, one of best for the defender who grew up in the Fiorentina youth team, embellished with four goals scored. Gigli is strong in the air and in marking and has played steadily in Serie C since the 2016/17 season: around 170 present in the third series with the shirts of Lecce, Matera, Rieti, Sudtirol, Potenza and Rimini himself. He will join the team on the day of the rally, scheduled for July 7th, after which he will be presented to the press. The purchase of him at this point could open up the sale of at least one of Risaliti and Polvani towards Livorno, where Indiani would like to bring along some of his loyalists. Gigli, however, could only be the first of the additions coming from the red and white club.
In the last few hours, in fact, it seems that he has focused heavily on Claudio Morra, a central striker who in the season just ended scored 19 goals in 35 games, thus becoming the object of desire for many Serie C teams. competition from important clubs such as Padova and Benevento and the two-year contract that still ties him to Rimini, including a very high termination clause, make the negotiation decidedly complex, but sporting director Nello Cutolo, who has been guaranteed a larger budget than the recent past, he seems intent on allocating a large portion of it to grab the vice-top scorer of last group B (only Shpendi did better with 20 goals). The arrival of the striker from Savigliano, in the province of Cuneo, would increase the technical and production rate of the offensive department available to Troise, where the permanence of Emiliano Pattarello is always at stake. Sudtirol has revealed their cards, knocking on the door of ‘, who would like to retain the winger born in 1999 but who could give in to the lure of the Bolzano club if Mawuli was also included in the deal, who could return to Amaranth again as a technical counterpart, finding the most congenial formula.
Cutolo, in fact, would welcome the return of the Ghanaian midfielder for another season, thus adding another fundamental player to the squad. Another parallel track in the Cavallino market, precisely, are the loans: Coccia for the moment remains in Modena, where he will join the retreat awaiting market developments, while for Donati and Renzi it will be necessary to speak with Empoli, where in the meantime the former amaranth director Roberto Gemmi has arrived. Who knows, maybe this might facilitate the success of the negotiations.
