The red and blue club is attempting to attack a new prey. Sports director Gennaro Delvecchio is negotiating with Lecco for Alessandro Caporale. The versatile defender is coming off a good season with the Lecco team, despite the relegation in May, peppered with a goal and four assists. Negotiations are proceeding quickly in these hours. The footballer, with a long past in Virtus Francavilla, wants to stay in Serie B, an opportunity that Cosenza is willing to offer him. The Lecce defender, in case of emergency, can also play as a left back in a four-man defense. A role that he has assumed on several occasions with the Blucelesti, however, fulfilling mainly defensive and “covering” tasks, aimed at favoring Lepore’s forays on the opposite lane. The left-footed cursor solution, therefore, should be adopted by Alvini only in emergency situations, since the orientation of the technical leadership of Fucecchio seems to be that of a rearguard composed of three men.
Interesting indications in this sense, in any case, will come from the first pre-season tests. In the 3-4-1-2, Caporale would play as a left-footed central defender. A position therefore that will see him compete for a starting place with the 22-year-old Christian Dalle Mura, who arrived in retreat in recent days and was acquired permanently from Fiorentina.
Caporale, who has accumulated a long experience in Serie C, is a very useful player in the offensive phase on set pieces.
In fact, during the past season, he caused several threats to the opposing defenses by appearing in the opponent’s penalty area on the “set play”. In addition to the goal scored during the match of the fourth day against Catanzaro, the defender – who will blow out 29 candles on October 28 – also hit several posts.
Pressing and dreams. The Neapolitan striker continues to pique the desire of several clubs. His future, judging by recent events, could be at Sampdoria, in the event of a farewell to Cosenza.
The rossoblù have no intention of lowering their demands for the striker. Delvecchio has been clear about this on more than one occasion. Words that he has also repeated to the managers of the teams who have called him to ask for information on the number nine. Sampdoria wants to create a stellar attack by pairing the player from Sila with Coda but at the moment they have to sell before proceeding with the offer capable of teasing president Eugenio Guarascio. Tutino, in the meantime, is working with the group in Cascia but it is clear that his thoughts are also occupied by the transfer market.
The 28-year-old wants to take a “step” in his career. He would like to compete with Serie A. He also declared it in an interview given a month and a half ago. His future on the banks of the Crati, therefore, is in serious doubt. The soap opera of the summer is destined to record new chapters in the coming days or in any case in the weeks that will follow.
