Daniele Sebastiani stated that they attempted to sign Mancuso but Mantova was not receptive to the transfer.

According to Tuttomercato, the potential return of Leonardo Mancuso to Pescara is facing complications due to his retention by Mantova. Despite Pescara's interest, Mantova's decision to keep Mancuso is making the transfer difficult. This situation is occurring while Pescara is actively pursuing other players, including Giovanni Bruzzaniti, Hamza Rafia, and Kees De Boer, as part of their efforts to strengthen their squad under the guidance of their soon-to-be-official new coach, Vincenzo Vivarini. Additionally, the club is considering bringing back Davide Veroli and acquiring Massimo Coda to enhance their attack, reflecting their strategic approach in the transfer market.
