According to Tuttosport, Sampdoria is one of several Serie B clubs interested in Pescara's 27-year-old Italian striker Antonio Di Nardo, with Avellino, Benevento, Padova, and Vicenza also reportedly monitoring the player. Di Nardo has generated significant interest after a season where he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists, despite Pescara's relegation to Serie C. A transfer remains complicated because Pescara does not intend to sell their top scorer for a low price. President Sebastiani has stated that any sales will only occur on the club's terms, though Di Nardo is considered one of the players most in demand in Serie B. Di Nardo joined Pescara in August 2025, and his contract is valid until June 2027. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.00m.
