Rapid Bucuresti is interested in Alessandro Debenedetti, and manager Daniel Pancu considers the 22-year-old Italian striker a perfect transfer. Victor Angelescu confirmed the club's interest in the Genoa-owned player, who was on loan at Virtus Entella in Serie B last season. Angelescu stated that Marius had spoken with the sporting director at Genoa and that discussions have occurred. He described Debenedetti as a tall player, fitting the profile Pancu wants for a strong, pivot-type striker, which is a different style from their current forwards. However, Angelescu added that a potential deal depends on whether the player is willing to come to the club. During the 2025/2026 season, Debenedetti made 32 appearances and scored 3 goals in Serie B. His contract with Genoa expires on 30/06/2029, and his market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €700k.
