Italian lower‑division pre‑season July 2026

Entities: Nicolò Rovella · Flaminia Civita Castellana · Gennaro Gattuso · Lazio (football club) · Bari

Overview

Pre‑season activity across Italy’s Serie C and D continued intensively through late July 2026. Perugia confirmed forward Francesco Corsinelli and remained in talks for youngster Mattia Della Rocca, while Udàs Cerignola added 2005‑born forward Riccardo Riccò and Caronnese re‑signed striker El Hilali. Nerviano Calcio presented a largely renewed squad, targeting promotion‑playoff spots, and reiterated its link with the Milan Academy. Genoa’s youth sector completed another intake, signing defender Rojus Kardelis (born 2010) plus full‑backs Leonardo Grancini, Andrea Ottaviani and Moussa Camara. Friendly results underscored the preparation drive: Juve Stabia beat Potenza 4‑0, Lazio overwhelmed Bologna 6‑0, and Frosinone edged Ascoli 1‑0. Later, Lazio repeated the 6‑0 scoreline against Serie D side Flaminia Civita Castellana, with goals from Cancellieri, Dele‑Bashiru, Bordon, Ratkov, Rovella and a Mattia Zaccagni penalty. Gennaro Gattuso praised the attacking display but noted the squad still needed reinforcement, citing a possible red‑card incident for overly aggressive fouls. Minor injuries were limited to a knee complaint for Nuno Tavares and a few strains. New signings Alfonso Pedraza and Danilho Doekhi featured, and Lazio continues to pursue a striker, eyeing a loan for Armando Broja. Youth prospects such as Ricardo Bordon were highlighted. Padova expressed interest in defender Dellavalle. Earlier in the window, Bari secured striker Karlo Butic, Empoli posted a 5‑0 win over Virtus Entella, and Juventus Next Gen drew 1‑1 with Pisa. The combined transfers and training matches illustrate a busy build‑up for the 2026‑27 season in Italy’s regional leagues.
