Avellino rebuffed over Petar Sučić

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Inter have kept their man, and Avellino go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Avellino bid $5.2M for Francesco Coppola

The offer went to Pisa this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

An offer of $1.0M for Antonio Prisco

Avellino have gone to Benevento 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo 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 Avellino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Lorenco Šimić 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Michele Besaggio stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michele Besaggio and Avellino agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Arthur Spadoni out for 15 days

The medical room confirms 15 days on the sidelines for Arthur Spadoni, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Avellino try to borrow Fran Topić

Dinamo Zagreb have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market17 Aug 2026

Marco Armellino is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Avellino has been clear about where Marco Armellino stands, which is more than many ever get.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Avellino bid $19.7M for Assane Diao

The offer went to Como this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Cagliari tell Avellino: Michel Ndary Adopo 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Avellino turn down Huesca for Andrea Favilli

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Armando Izzo and Avellino agree another 2 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Avellino

Armando Izzo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

A loan move for Pavlos Pantelidis is in the works

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

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Armando Izzo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Antony Iannarilli's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market10 Aug 2026

Salvatore Burrai brings the grey hairs Avellino lacked

At 39, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Market3 Aug 2026

Virtus Entella come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Avellino did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Atalanta tell Avellino: Nicola Zalewski 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.

Lorenco Šimić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lorenco Šimić and Avellino agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Avellino

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Avellino training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lorenco Šimić 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Avellino and Tommaso Biasci

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Avellino has picked up the phone to Lorenco Šimić

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Yael Trepy is in the works

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Avellino are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief
