Market

Francesco Marone has said yes to Guidonia Montecelio

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Pineto have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Squad

Words at Pineto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Filippo D'Andrea is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Tomás Galván

Pineto asked and River Plate said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout

No hiding place for Tommaso D'Orazio

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tommaso D'Orazio, and the manager let it.

Squad

A falling-out at Pineto

Saad El Haddad and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Pineto ask about Stefano Minelli

A loan enquiry to St. Gallen: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Edoardo Pieragnolo is in the works

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

Boardroom

Pineto say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead

Alessandro Tonti faces his old club

Ravenna next, and one man in the Pineto dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Transfer targets

Pineto agree $34.0K for Diego Ferrazza

The clubs have shaken hands with Spezia; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Boardroom

Pineto go back to the board over Diego Ferrazza

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $38.9K — a club that wants Diego Ferrazza enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Tempers go at Pineto

Filippo D'Andrea was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

Temperley tell Pineto: Lautaro Torres is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

One of our own: Sebastiano De Santis joins the Pineto first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sebastiano De Santis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Pineto promote Angelo Dalla Costa from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Angelo Dalla Costa has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Leonardo Ferri steps up from the Pineto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Leonardo Ferri has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Diogo Medeiros signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Diogo Medeiros commits to Pineto for another 2 years.
