Giuseppe Sibilli contract dispute with Bari intensifies

Giuseppe Sibilli, the 30‑year‑old forward who returned to Bari after an eight‑month betting suspension, is at the centre of a heated contract dispute. Agent Claudio Parlato accused Bari of offering an unfair renewal deal and criticised the club’s handling of the negotiations, while Bari’s director‑general Pierpaolo Marino defended the club’s position and rebuked the agent’s statements.

Reports indicate that Juve Stabia has made a competing offer of roughly €300,000 per season and a €200,000 transfer fee, exceeding Bari’s €200,000 renewal proposal. The financial gap and lingering tensions have raised the prospect that Sibilli may leave Bari, either on a new deal with Juve Stabia or as a free agent.
