Marco Imperiale has said yes to Fiorentina
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Catanzaro have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Torino come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Catanzaro did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Davide Buglio keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Catanzaro may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Tommaso Cassandro is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Catanzaro is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Nicolò Buso signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nicolò Buso and Catanzaro agree another 4 years.

Mirko Pigliacelli in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Catanzaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The step up is real for Enea Florio
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

A row about effort at Catanzaro
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marco Imperiale was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Eyes on Giuseppe Coppola again
The phone has started ringing about Giuseppe Coppola again, and this time the name on the line is Saba. Catanzaro are listening politely and promising nothing.
