Monza has made a significant move in the transfer market by securing the services of goalkeeper Semuel Pizzignacco from Feralpisalò. The 22-year-old is expected to sign a three-year contract in the coming hours. Pizzignacco is likely to serve as the backup to a new first-choice goalkeeper, whom the club is still in the process of identifying. Initial targets Pierluigi Gollini and Keylor Navas have fallen through, with Gollini opting for Genoa and negotiations with Navas stalling over final details. Monza is now considering former Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio, with Wojciech Szczesny also a potential, albeit complicated, option.
Incoming Transfers
Calciomercato report that In addition to bolstering their goalkeeping options, Monza has been active in strengthening other areas of the squad. Daniel Maldini has returned to the club on a permanent basis from AC Milan, replacing Colpani. Moreover, midfielder Stefano Sensi, who previously played for Monza in the 2022-23 season, is expected to be announced soon. Sensi has already started training with the team and even featured in a friendly against Sassuolo.
Monza is also focused on reinforcing their attack. Andrea Pinamonti is a concrete target to replace Lorenzo Colombo, who has returned to AC Milan before moving to Empoli. The club is also considering Matteo Cancellieri and Josip Brekalo, both of whom are more suited to playing as wide forwards. There has been no contact for Tucu Correa or former Fiorentina striker Arthur Cabral, as the club currently has no interest in these players. Additionally, Juventus’ Mattia De Sciglio, whose contract expires in 2025, has been linked with a move to Monza to strengthen their flanks.
Outgoing Transfers
On the outgoing front, Monza is working to trim the squad under coach Alessandro Nesta. Players such as Mattia Valoti, Marco D’Alessandro, Andrea Petagna, and Davide Diaw are not part of the coach’s plans. Sassuolo has shown interest in Valoti, with discussions of a potential swap involving goalkeeper Andrea Consigli, although the arrival of Pizzignacco has put this deal on hold. Despite rumors, Andrea Carboni is not expected to leave Monza, as he has expressed his desire to stay with the club.
