Italian centre-forward Antonio Di Nardo, 27, is expected to leave Pescara following the club's relegation to Serie C and has received interest from several Serie B clubs, including Cremonese, Modena, Sampdoria, and Catanzaro. According to Il Centro, Lecce is taking decisive steps to attempt to sign the forward. Pescara has set an asking price of €2.5 million for the player, who also has a potential opportunity in Serie A. Di Nardo, whose contract with Pescara runs until June 2027, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €1.00m. In July 2026, a reported offer of €1.5 million from Frosinone was turned down, and the forward had moved to Pescara on a free transfer in August 2025.
