Discussions with Pro Vercelli regarding a contract extension for 20-year-old Italian midfielder Mattia Rutigliano are currently blocked, according to his agent Simone Bernardo. The agent also stated that because the talks have stalled, they are now considering other options. Union Brescia and Arzignano Valchiampo, who both compete in the same division as Pro Vercelli, are interested in the midfielder and may approach the club after the weekend. Rutigliano's contract is set to expire in a few months, which is the final opportunity for Pro Vercelli to receive a transfer fee for him. From February, he will be free to sign an agreement with another team for a transfer next summer. Rutigliano joined Pro Vercelli in July 2023 and has a current market value of €200k, according to Transfermarkt. This season, he has made 15 appearances and scored one goal in Serie C - A.
