Bari is reportedly interested in acquiring Dimitrios Nikolaou, a 26-year-old defender, from Palermo, with expectations for the transfer to be finalized this week as indicated by Corriere dello Sport. Under the leadership of President Luigi De Laurentiis and guided by new coach Fabio Caserta, Bari has been actively working on strengthening its squad in the early stages of the transfer market. Nikolaou's anticipated move to Bari is part of a strategic effort to recruit three new players, including midfielder Francesco Gelli from Frosinone and Liam Henderson, who is set to return to Italy after his stint with Empoli. This initiative aligns with Bari's broader strategy to enhance the team's competitiveness.
