Francesco Forte, currently playing for Ascoli and a former Benevento player, is set to join Salernitana. According to the editorial team of TuttoMercatoWeb.com, he is ready to sign a contract for one year with an option for an additional year. Despite being hindered by a suspension and an injury, Forte scored 3 goals in 10 appearances in Serie B last season. This move is considered a top-level acquisition for Salernitana as they prepare for the upcoming season following their relegation to Serie C after losing the playouts against Sampdoria.
