Avellino is reportedly in the lead to sign Coli Saco, a 23-year-old midfielder owned by Napoli, as a potential replacement for the departing Emmanuel Gyabuaa. The Franco-Malian player could return to Italy from his loan spell at Yverdon in Switzerland, which is set to run until June 30, 2026. Pescara is also interested in Saco, who played in Serie B with Bari last year, but they appear to be behind Avellino in the effort to sign him. Saco has made 8 appearances in the Challenge League this season, has 7 caps for the Mali U23 team, and his current market value is €200k, according to Transfermarkt.
