Dutch centre-back Cas Odenthal, 25, has received requests from Spezia and Sampdoria, as well as other clubs, but Sassuolo has not yet approved a transfer. A long list of unavailable players is limiting the club's options. It is reported that Sassuolo will not authorize departures for surplus players until they have more certainty on player returns, which could happen soon but might also take a week or more. Odenthal, who has made one appearance in Serie A this season, joined Sassuolo in July 2024 from Como for a fee reported to be €1.2 million. His contract runs until June 2027. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €2.00m.
