Catania signs defender Gabriele Pagliai as club ramps up summer transfers

Italian Serie C side Catania announced the signing of defender Gabriele Pagliai, who accepted the move quickly and hopes to help the team reach Serie B. The club’s sporting director Fortunato Varrà is also preparing to add Marco Perrotta, pending official paperwork, as part of a broader effort to trim the squad and meet the 23‑player roster limit.

In the same transfer window, Polisportiva Santa Maria Cilento reinforced its roster with three new players: experienced centre‑back Luca Magliocca, midfielder Gianmarco Rizzo returning to his youth club, and 17‑year‑old striker Alfredo Saviello, who scored 24 goals in his last 35 matches in the Promozione league. The additions aim to blend experience and youth for the upcoming season.
