Francesco Di Mariano was followed by the coach and the sporting director of Catanzaro during the summer. However, the transfer did not materialize due to economic reasons. Currently, Catanzaro is covered in Di Mariano's position, and therefore, the club president Floriano Noto excludes the possibility of reigniting interest in him for the January transfer window.

Francesco Di Mariano, born in 1996, is currently playing for Palermo. He is being considered by Catanzaro to strengthen their offensive flanks.

As part of the deal to acquire Jari Vandeputte, Palermo is willing to offer Francesco Di Mariano to Catanzaro.
