Pescara's 25-year-old Italian winger Davide Merola, who is approaching a return from a long injury, is of interest again in Serie C to both Ascoli and Catania. However, a move away from Abruzzo is unlikely, partly due to his physical issue. Any possible developments regarding a transfer will not happen before the winter market opens in January. Merola, who joined Pescara in July 2024, is under contract until June 2028 and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €700k. In the current Serie B season, he has made 8 appearances, scoring 1 goal. The winger has also been capped 14 times for the Italy U19 team, scoring 3 goals.
