Perugia made multiple attempts during this transfer window to sign right-back Francesco Zallu from Gubbio. According to TMW, Perugia presented several offers for Francesco Zallu. All offers were rejected by Gubbio, and the club decided to remove the player from the market at the end of the transfer window. Francesco Zallu is expected to remain at Gubbio for a third season, unless there are unexpected last-minute developments.

Perugia is showing interest in acquiring Francesco Zallu to fill in for the injured Francesco Mezzoni. Zallu, who has played 21 matches for Gubbio this season, had previously been a target for Perugia during the summer transfer window. The two clubs have begun discussions to consider the feasibility of his transfer, given that his contract with Gubbio is valid until 2027. The potential transfer could take the form of a loan with an option or obligation to purchase, or it could be a direct permanent transfer. Mezzoni, who is Perugia's main right-back, is anticipated to be out of action for approximately six weeks due to a right ankle injury. With only Daniel Leo, whose primary position is as a central defender, available to step in, Perugia's need to secure Zallu has become more pressing.
