Italian centre-forward Manuel De Luca, 27, is expected to depart from Cremonese during the winter transfer window, as he is currently out of the squad in Lombardy. Spezia is considered to be the leading club to sign him. Modena also has the forward as an option, but their sporting director, Catellani, is reportedly less convinced due to the player's long period of inactivity. De Luca, who joined Cremonese in July 2024, has a contract running until June 2028. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is €2.00m. He has made two appearances and scored one goal in Serie A this season.
