According to Tuttomercato, contract extension negotiations for Danilo Cataldi, a 31-year-old Italian defensive midfielder, have stalled. Although a preliminary agreement was reached in December, every discussion has been officially postponed to June. The delay is due to financial reasons, because from March the club must comply with the new threshold for labor costs (parameter 0.7). This obliges the management to postpone any decisions on contract renewals to guarantee financial stability. Cataldi has made 23 appearances in Serie A this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.50m.
