Tuttomercato has reported on the possible departure of Francesco Forte from Ascoli, as the forward born in 1993 considers his future. Despite having a contract with Ascoli until 2026, Forte is contemplating a move elsewhere. Ternana has expressed interest in acquiring him, aiming to secure promotion to Serie B after their loss in the play-off finals. At 32 years old, Forte had limited playing time this year due to well-known reasons, but coach Liverani remains hopeful about Forte's potential return to his previous goal-scoring form. Ascoli is anticipated to undergo major changes for the 2025-26 season, including alterations in both the technical staff and player roster, which might result in Forte being among those who leave the club. This prospective transfer is part of Ternana's broader strategy to reinforce their team and achieve the promotion they narrowly missed in the previous season.
