According to Tuttomercato, Marcello Trotta has become a target for several Serie D clubs after Turris's expulsion from Serie C prematurely ended his season. L'Aquila is among the clubs interested in him as they aim for a top league position in the upcoming season. Following Turris's expulsion on March 12, which cut Trotta's season short, the experienced forward expressed his disappointment, remarking that the club's 80th anniversary year was intended to be significant. Despite this setback, Trotta is prepared to move forward, drawing interest from ambitious Serie D clubs such as Nocerina, Sarnese, and Savoia, in addition to L'Aquila. He is taking his time to consider the right project, but it is anticipated that he will soon return to the field, potentially reigniting his career in Serie D after a brief stint with Pistoiese from October to December 2023.
