Sambenedettese is looking to sign a striker during the winter transfer window, a need heightened by the imminent departure of Alessandro Sbaffo to Recanatese. The club's primary target, Alessio Nepi of Giugliano, is proving to be a difficult transfer, leading Sambenedettese to evaluate other options. Among the alternatives is 27-year-old Italian centre-forward Diego Gambale from Audace Cerignola. According to TuttoC.com, Gambale is at the top of the list of concrete alternatives, which also includes Ferdinando Mastroianni of Pro Patria. Gambale joined Audace Cerignola in September 2025 and has a contract until June 2027. In the current 2025/2026 season, he has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 17 league appearances. His market value is listed as €250k on Transfermarkt.
