Manuel De Luca is a target for Padova, according to Tuttomercato. De Luca returned to Cremonese after a loan at Modena. He is not expected to remain at Cremonese because he was excluded from the squad in recent months. The player has two years left on his contract with Cremonese and is expected to be transferred either permanently or on a loan with an obligation to buy. His salary is approximately 600,000 euros.

Tuttomercato reports that Manuel De Luca will return to his parent club after playing for Modena temporarily last season.

Padova has had contacts with Manuel De Luca as they search for a new forward to lead their attack.

Cremonese needs to wait for the departure of Manuel De Luca before finalizing the transfer of Christian Gytkjaer.
