In early August 2026, Pescara president Daniele Sebastiani confirmed interest in signing Catania midfielder Emanuele Cicerelli. Negotiations faced obstacles regarding Cicerelli’s salary and a transfer fee that Catania considered high, though Sebastiani suggested spreading payments over several years to facilitate the deal.

By mid-August, following a Coppa Italia match against Parma, Cicerelli signaled his intent to remain with Catania. Despite the ongoing transfer speculation, the player stated that discussions with the club were moving in a “positive direction” and expressed a priority to stay with the team.
