Cesena is considering the sale of 23-year-old Albanian striker Cristian Shpendi, with the goal of making a significant capital gain from the transfer. The club's management is assessing the player's future. Sassuolo has made a specific inquiry as part of a plan to rebuild their attack with young players. However, a transfer within Italy is made difficult by Shpendi's high salary, which could deter interest from other Serie A clubs. Sassuolo is also currently unable to sign new players before reducing their current squad size, which has stopped negotiations. Due to the lack of progress in Italy, a move to a foreign country is considered a more likely outcome. The striker is reportedly of interest in several European leagues, though Cesena has not yet received any official written offers from foreign clubs. Shpendi, who has three caps for Albania, is under contract until June 30, 2028, and has a current market value of €4.50m, according to Transfermarkt. Torino, Lazio, and Bologna have also been associated with the striker.
