Market23 Aug 2027
Terms done: Fabrizio Bagheria is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Guidonia Montecelio waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Vicenza is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
An offer of $73.0K for Gaetano Monachello
Vicenza have gone to Lumezzane with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
8 academy graduates step up at Vicenza
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Vicenza rebuffed over Konan N'Dri
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Torino have kept their man, and Vicenza go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Market23 Aug 2027
Riccardo Rinaldi steps up from the Vicenza academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Riccardo Rinaldi 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.

One of our own: Salvatore Galli joins the Vicenza first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Salvatore Galli is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Vicenza promote Sandro Giuliani from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sandro Giuliani 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.
The dugout23 Aug 2027
The manager makes an example of Lorenzo Caferri
“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.

No investment in the facilities at Vicenza
Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.
