According to Tuttomercato, Ospitaletto acquired Francesco Galuppini to replace Marco Bertoli. The transfer was described as complex due to contractual situations Galuppini had with Ascoli. Ospitaletto waited for the player, using his desire to join them and be central to their project. Galuppini's previous year was divided between Mantova and Ascoli, where his role was not as central as it had been in prior years. A longstanding relationship between the club and the player was also a factor in the transfer.

Ospitaletto has secured Italian attacker Francesco Galuppini (32) from Ascoli on a dry loan. The right winger joined Ascoli in July 2026 and has a contract with the club until June 2027. His current market value is €200k, according to Transfermarkt.
