After being left off Cremonese's list in September, 27-year-old Italian centre-forward Manuel De Luca is set to change teams in the first days of January. In the summer, De Luca had hoped to have an impact with the club in Serie A, but he has now accepted that the scenario is not what he anticipated. At the moment, three Serie B clubs are primarily interested in him: Modena, which already attempted to sign him in the summer; Venezia, managed by his former coach Giovanni Stroppa; and Monza, whose interest is conditional on one of their current strikers leaving. De Luca, who joined Cremonese in July 2024 and is under contract until 2028, has made 2 appearances and scored 1 goal in Serie A this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.00m.
