Halid Djankpata will permanently depart from Spezia after not establishing himself with the club, making just five appearances since his arrival from Everton in the summer of 2024. The 21-year-old Togolese-Italian midfielder, born in 2005, spent last season on loan at Gubbio, where he played 27 games and scored one goal. He will now join the newly promoted Barletta on a permanent deal. An agreement between Djankpata and Barletta had been reached several weeks ago, but the transfer was delayed due to an emergency at Spezia. The player traveled to Puglia this morning, with official announcements from both clubs expected to be released in the evening. His contract with Spezia was set to expire in June 2027, and his current market value is €250k, according to Transfermarkt. He has not yet been capped by Togo at the senior international level.
