Pescara are considering the 35-year-old Moldovan midfielder Artur Ioniță as a potential replacement if midfielder Luca Valzania leaves the club. Valzania has interest from Catanzaro in Serie B, but Pescara's sporting director, Pasquale Foggia, intends to keep him unless an offer that cannot be refused is made. Foggia is working to renew Valzania's contract, which has one year remaining. While this is happening, Foggia is exploring other options, and he particularly likes Ioniță, who currently plays for Arezzo. The two have previously worked together at Benevento. Ioniță joined Arezzo in January 2026 with a contract that expires in June 2027. He has 81 appearances and 5 goals for Moldova, and his current market value is €175k, according to Transfermarkt.
