Vicenza has been actively managing its roster through the transfer market to address squad needs and injuries. Initially, the club sought a new striker to replace Frank Tsadji following a serious injury. Targets included Massimo Zilli, Silvio Merkaj, Giuseppe Di Serio, and Leonardo Mancuso.

As the transfer window progressed, the club’s focus expanded to include securing goalkeeper Tantalocchi from Sampdoria and finding a midfielder to replace the injured Rada. Negotiations for striker Giuseppe Di Serio became more complex, shifting toward potential loan deals with obligations to buy due to valuation and financial constraints. The club also worked to manage player departures, including Matteo Della Morte, Broggian, and Cavion.

Recent negotiations for Di Serio with Spezia remain complicated. Spezia’s technical director, Guido Angelozzi, has indicated the club is unwilling to sell the striker cheaply, requesting approximately 500,000 euros for a permanent transfer to avoid a capital loss. To facilitate a deal, Vicenza has proposed a player exchange involving Matteo Della Morte, though Spezia has shown hesitation toward that specific arrangement. Other potential solutions under discussion include a loan deal with an obligation to buy, which may require Di Serio to extend his contract with Spezia first. Vicenza’s sporting director, Andrea Zamuner, has emphasized the urgency of securing a replacement as the transfer window nears its close.
