Michael Venturi was anticipated to depart Cosenza during this transfer window, with several clubs expressing interest. Despite being on the brink of signing with Virtus Entella, Venezia managed to secure his transfer, outperforming numerous Serie B clubs. Sky Sport reported that the agreement is nearly complete, with no expected complications. Venturi is poised to join Venezia soon, although the clubs are still finalizing specific details. This transfer aligns with Venezia's strategy to strengthen their squad after recent player departures to Sassuolo, including Fali Candé and Jay Idzes. Although Venturi was close to an agreement with Virtus Entella, his move to Venezia represents a significant addition to the club's defense, addressing a crucial gap as they prepare for forthcoming matches under coach Giovanni Stroppa.
