A good half of the teams without a coach, another portion without a sporting director. And then the companies on the verge of selling, those under ongoing dispute. Those struggling with the budget to cover, with the systems to fix. Those with hypertrophic bodies and the need to lose weight. All this contributes in the next group B to a market that has been blocked up until now, in the face of a decidedly clearer picture (Ancona alone excluded, zero appeals) compared to previous years. In this context, Vis Pesaro is among the most active companies: technical frameworks defined, programs drawn up, purchase-sales campaign well underway. To the point that we can already guess what the squad will be available to Mr. Stellone for next season, starting from Cingoli’s retirement. As long as it is possible to put all the identified profiles under contract starting from July.
Director Michele Menga, who returned from Milan in recent days after a long tour de force, moved well in advance, after having planned the moves with Mr. Stellone. This can clearly translate into a competitive advantage. Difference compared to the past: they will not wait for the end of the transfer market, which will close in two and a half months, to make the last shots, hoping for a last minute opportunity. Vis, also thanks to its increased attractiveness, wants to move forward with the work and aims to close the negotiations quickly. The coming week could be the one for the first announcements. Luca Paganini, as a free agent after his experience at Latina, is already a certainty.
Today could be the day of central defender Davide Bove, another member whose contract is expiring (with Crotone): a meeting between the parties is expected. After that, the expectations are for the former Olbia goalkeeper Rinaldi, owned by Parma, for whom negotiations are at an advanced level; and for the former Fermana and Fano midfielder Ousmane Niang, who the agent Ducci, thanks to his excellent relations with the club, could push towards Pesaro. These are the most important names, to which is added that of Antonio David, a much disputed left-footed winger from Cesena, on whom Vis is trying to convince him. Should this latest deal go through, it would be among the most important because it would mean having almost settled the midfield lanes (on the right the boxes are occupied with the hiring of Paganini and the renewal of Da Pozzo’s loan), strategic in the idea of football by Roberto Stellone. The channel remains open with Venezia, from which, together with Da Pozzo, important players are expected, such as the attacking midfielder Tavernaro and the defender Busato, captain of the Primavera dei lagoonari and already used in Serie B.
If there is a department that will undergo few adjustments, it is the attack, with Nicastro as a fixed point, supported by Molina and the returning Cannavò; the fourth element will most likely be an under. The new Vis, in the intentions, will have a lower average age, strong dynamism and more motivated people. Because certain heart-pounding salvations only happen once.
