It took a while to arrive, but in the end the move made by Messina in the “goalkeeper” box is certainly of a good standard.. Titas Krapikas may not be the number 1 in practice (the shirt has already been chosen by Curtosi), but he certainly arrives with important credentials, significantly raising the level of quality and experience of the entire team.. Lithuanian born in 1999, in Italy since 2015, after his adventures in his homeland in the youth sectors of FK Kedainiai and NFA, he played with the Allievi and Primavera of Sampdoria, earning a move to Spezia in 2019. Sixteen appearances among the professionals collected with the same black and white club (which in the meantime had been promoted to Serie A) and Ternana: the four as a starter in the Coppa Italia in the 20/21 season in the matches against Cittadella, Bologna, Roma and Napoli stand out. The season experienced in the last championship with Audace Cerignola was decidedly more satisfying. Arriving in Puglia during the last day of the summer transfer market, he was the starting goalkeeper until the twenty-third matchday, before making way for Davide Barosi, bought in January from Ascoli. In the end, Krapikas will have made 26 appearances in Cerignola, with as many goals conceded and ten clean sheets.
The arrival of Titas Krapikas brings the number of players registered by Messina for the 24/25 season to 22. At this point there would be only one slot left to fill to complete the list to be deposited in the League at the end of the transfer market. And it is the most awaited one, despite the scepticism and the protests of the square, and destined tocentral striker who will likely act as a starter in Giacomo Modica’s trident. The Austrian trail that led to Alex Sobczyk disappeared before it was even bornso much so that the former Rapid Vienna footballer had already returned to his homeland in the early hours of this morning
