Monza have made a strategic move in the transfer market by signing goalkeeper Semuel Pizzignacco from Feralpisalò. The young talent, born in 2001, is expected to play a significant role in the club’s ambitions for the upcoming season.
Pizzignacco’s arrival comes as Monza seeks to strengthen its squad following the departure of previous goalkeeper Di Gregorio to Juventus. The club has finalized a deal that includes a loan arrangement with an option to buy, allowing them to assess Pizzignacco’s performance before committing to a permanent transfer.
Last season, Pizzignacco showcased his potential in Serie B, despite Feralpisalò facing relegation. His performances caught the attention of Monza’s management, who are keen on developing a solid foundation for their goalkeeping department. Pizzignacco is expected to serve as a reliable backup initially, providing depth to the squad as Monza prepares for the challenges ahead.
A statement on the clubs official website confirmed the news:
“Semuel Pizzignacco is a new player of Monza.
The transfer of the goalkeeper from Friuli is on a temporary basis until June 30, 2025, with an obligation to redeem upon the occurrence of certain conditions.
