Market28 Jun 2027
Silvio Merkaj hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Vicenza can pretend not to have heard.

Claudio Morra says Vicenza went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
Squad28 Jun 2027
Vicenza lose Albert Gashi
42 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

A row about effort at Vicenza
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lorenzo Caferri was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Transfer targets28 Jun 2027
Vicenza ask about Jamal Iddrissou
A loan enquiry to Inter: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

A falling-out at Vicenza
Matteo Vescovi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The Riccardo Gagno talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Vicenza know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Alessandro Serpa knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Vicenza, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Squad28 Jun 2027
Mattia Valoti has company in his position
The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Mattia Valoti keeps the shirt for now, at Vicenza's convenience rather than his own.
In brief
- Loan watch Nicola Rauti keeps scoring at Vicenza
- Market Elia Tantalocchi goes out on loan
- The dugout Giulio Pellizzari keeps his manager's vote
