Karlo Butic, a 27-year-old Croatian centre-forward, has drawn interest from both Ascoli and Avellino after scoring six goals in his last nine appearances for Casertana. Avellino had also been interested in the player in January and may attempt to sign him again in the summer. For Ascoli, any action depended on their potential promotion to Serie B, a possibility that ended after they lost their final league match against Campobasso. Butic joined Casertana in January 2026 and is under contract until June 30, 2028. He has been capped twice for the Croatia U20 team, scoring one goal, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €250k.
