More or less the market news that bounces from one source to another is always the same, but even without confirmation from those directly involved, a week before the start of the summer transfer session, some go well beyond simple gossip.
The names that are associated with the grey-reds are important and of great appeal, but for this very reason the competition is wide and ruthless. An offer is important both for the opening of negotiations and for the closing, but the difference will be made by the credibility of the company’s technical sports project, which is why Giacchetta and his team will have total responsibility.
Obviously we start from Stroppa’s 3-5-2, where play on the flanks is notoriously a priority, for this reason the interest in Catanzaro’s left winger Jari Vandeputtegoes beyond simple market rumor.
The Belgian born in ’96 has confirmed himself this season where, among the ranks of the ‘Calabrian Eagles’, he took to the field in 39 games, scoring 9 goals and 14 assists (53 in total since he was in Calabria), making him the best assist-man of the championship.
With Catanzaro (who bought him for around 400 thousand euros from Vicenza) he has a contract expiring in June next year, and given the player’s market, it is very likely that he could leave Calabria for another destination and maybe for another category. On his trail there would be, in addition to the usual Palermo, also Cagliari and Udinese, who should shell out a sum close to 4 million euros, even if Salernitana seems to have gone ahead with an offer of 2.5 million plus bonuses.
Another young player that Cremonese would have their eyes on is the full-back (right foot) Mattia Felici, owned by Feralpisalò. The player born in 2001, who grew up in Triestina, was one of the few positive notes of the Salodian season and the contract until June 2026 will certainly not be an obstacle to his departure, which would bring a nice nest egg to Feralpi’s coffers and the possibility for the player to remain at the top of the category.
Full-back and, if necessary, winger in his first season in Serie B, in 36 appearances with the green and blue shirt, he scored 4 goals and 5 assists, numbers that made many Serie B clubs such as Frosinone raise their antennas. but also Empoli or Cagliari in Serie A, which could offer him an important stage, but not a non-protagonist role.
A name that circulates in the notebooks of many second-class prosecutors is that of Matteo Della Morte owned by Vicenza. Forward born in 1999, who grew up in the youth sector of Juventus, ending up at Pro Vercelli, where he made his debut in the first team in the Serie B championship in the 2017/018 season. At Pro Vercelli he made a total of 121 appearances, 21 goals and 6 assists, before moving to Vicenza where in the last season he took the field 42 times, scoring 8 goals and 7 assists. He is a quick left-footed player, skilled at dribbling and gifted with an excellent long-range shot, who can play various roles in the attacking department, either as an attacking midfielder, a winger, or as a second striker.
With Vicenza, he reached the Serie C playoff final, then lost against Carrarese, but the sirens of Serie B are ringing loudly (Cremonese, Catanzaro and Cesena above all) and the Venetians, with whom the player has a contract until 2026, would be willing to give it up for a hefty fee.
