Leonardo Mendicino, a 19-year-old Italian defensive midfielder owned by Atalanta, could move to Virtus Entella. He made eight appearances for Reggiana in Serie B this season and registered no goals or assists. According to Tuttoreggiana.com, the player, who was born in 2006, might be included in a larger operation that would see Ahmad Benali join Reggiana. The deal would involve Mendicino transferring to the Ligurian club on loan to seek more playing time. Mendicino is an Italy U19 international with 10 caps and one goal. His contract with Atalanta expires in June 2026, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €800k.
