Luciano Ballan, a young Italian left-back born in 2003, faced a challenging time at Legnago where he managed only 160 minutes of play. At the start of the month, he became a free agent and opted to embark on a new journey by joining Pontedera. The Tuscan club officially announced that Ballan has committed to a contract extending until 2026, with an option for a further year. The left-back, who developed his skills in the youth systems of Bologna and Pordenone, also gained valuable experience in Serie D with Campodarsego before his tenure at Legnago Salus in Serie C the previous season. Pontedera, with aspirations to elevate their position in Serie C's Group B, considers Ballan's acquisition a strategic addition to bolster their team. Transfermarkt lists the player's market value at approximately €50,000.
