Cosimo Patierno is expected to leave Avellino and join Monopoli, a club with which he has reached an agreement. The official announcement is dependent on Patierno terminating his contract with Avellino. According to Tuttoc.com, Patierno has reached a preliminary agreement with Monopoli and will sign the contract once his contractual situation with Avellino is resolved. The publication also reported that Catania was interested in Patierno as part of a potential swap deal involving Kaleb Jimenez. Patierno is expected to arrive in Puglia in the coming hours to undergo his medical examination and sign the contract with Monopoli.

Cosimo Patierno was a target for Monopoli during the January transfer window, but he decided to renew his contract with Avellino until 2028 instead.

Monopoli made a proposal for Cosimo Patierno that was considered satisfactory by the player's entourage. However, Avellino did not intend to sell Patierno and effectively blocked the transfer.

Cosimo Patierno, known for his goal-scoring prowess in Serie C, is poised to become a notable figure in the final week of the transfer window. Numerous teams are assessing whether Avellino will consider selling him, although it appears they are hesitant to part with the player. Monopoli is among the clubs showing interest. Avellino's recent acquisition of Facundo Lescano might reduce playing opportunities for the 31-year-old striker, who has netted 30 goals in 54 matches for the club, thereby attracting interest from several teams, including Benevento, Catania, Cerignola, Feralpisalò, Ternana, and Vis Pesaro, in addition to Monopoli.
