Market

Federico Troiano asks to leave Crotone

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Sonosi Daldum

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Crotone have done the hard part with Como, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Filippo Toscano 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 Crotone this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Renato Nardo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Renato Nardo and Crotone agree another 3 years.

Squad

Matteo Bevanati falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Eldi Pojana is in the works

Crotone have made the call to Ascoli. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Crotone

Something was said to Tiziano Del Maschio and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Market

Antonio Energe linked with a move away

The name of Antonio Energe keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Crotone say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

Continental football is in reach for Crotone

51 points from position 4. The title is somebody else’s business and the drop is somebody else’s problem; what is left is the argument about passports.

In brief

Market

Matteo Bevanati asks to leave Crotone

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A row about effort at Crotone

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Flynn Macnack was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Kevin Lo Monaco frozen out at Crotone

This is not rotation. Kevin Lo Monaco has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Crotone is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Yukiyoshi Karashima stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Yukiyoshi Karashima and Crotone agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Nicolò Palmieri is in the works

Crotone have made the call to Alcione Milano. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Thiago Fiore

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Still no ink between Crotone and Lorenzo D'Oppido

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Crotone, another week without a signature from Lorenzo D'Oppido.

Market

The Davide Merelli talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Crotone know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Federico Troiano 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 Crotone, and both men came out saying it was fine.
