According to Tuttomercato, the 35-year-old Italian midfielder, Paolo Bartolomei, is expected to leave Perugia before his contract officially ends. Bartolomei, who has been with the club for three years, appears ready to move on with one year remaining on his contract as he considers opportunities for the latter part of his career. Siracusa, a club newly promoted from Serie D, is reportedly keen on acquiring him to demonstrate their competitive edge at a higher level. Additionally, Cosenza, which recently suffered relegation from Serie B, is also said to be interested in Bartolomei as they aim to make a strong return. The final decision is in Bartolomei's hands as he evaluates his options to choose the best future course. Transfermarkt has estimated the player's current market value at €150k.
