Giovanni Tateo, the agent for Avellino forward Cosimo Patierno, stated to lattacco.it that Patierno will remain at Avellino. Foggia attempted to acquire the player to strengthen their attack, but the transfer will not happen during the current transfer window, which closes on February 2 at 20:00. Cosimo Patierno is under contract with Avellino until June 30, 2028.

According to TuttoC, Foggia has shown interest in Cosimo Patierno, a 34-year-old Italian striker for Avellino. Catania, Salernitana, and Union Brescia are also reportedly monitoring the player. Foggia's new ownership, De Vitto-Casillo, is said to be considering a significant operation for the player to generate enthusiasm. However, a transfer is not considered simple, because Patierno is reportedly happy in Irpinia and his priority is to stay. This situation could result in any talks being postponed to a later transfer window. Patierno's contract with Avellino is valid until June 30, 2028, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €200k. In the 2025/2026 Serie B season, he has made 7 appearances without scoring a goal.
