Ascoli's 31-year-old Italian defender Damiano Menna, who is not in coach Francesco Tomei's technical plans, wishes to move to Teramo, a team in Serie D. Menna remains under contract with the Marche-based club, and a move requires an agreement on a consensual contract termination. According to PicenoTime.it, talks between Ascoli and the player's representatives are currently stalled. The primary issue is reportedly the severance payment, as Menna considers the amount offered by the club to be insufficient for him to forgo the final year of his salary. Menna joined Ascoli in August 2024 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €100k.
