“Benevento is now focused solely on the offensive department. Marcello Carli continues to weave the web to strengthen the attack with the signings of Manconi, Morra and Lamesta. The Samnite club has them virtually in its grip and has the decisive attack in store.” This is what Il Mattino writes today.
“Among the three additions in attack, Jacopo Manconi – explains the newspaper – could be the most imminent, also because several teams have their eyes on him (two from Serie B including a newly promoted one, as well as Avellino and Catania). The player has already given his consent to the transfer to Sannio and with Modena there is a basic agreement on a fee that is not very high and based on his real value. There is discussion about the years of the contract and the amount of the same but the difference is really marginal. However, the risk of losing him increases as the days pass given that the agent Claudio Vigorelli is in talks with Benevento, but he is certainly not willing to wait forever.”
By virtue of the strong competition that was created, the negotiations were accelerated. Manconi, almost 50 goals in the last three Serie C tournaments played (3 and 2 assists with Modena in Serie B last season) is the ideal attacker in Auteri’s trident, to play on the left and return to the right foot. And alternate with Lanini in that role.
