Paulo Azzi was initially expected to join Venezia, but in a decisive move, Monza stepped in during the negotiation process and finalized the deal with Azzi's current club, Cremonese. Sky Sport confirmed Monza's intervention in the transfer negotiations, highlighting the club's determination to secure Azzi's signing. The transfer is expected to be completed on Saturday, August 9. Azzi will not have the opportunity to reunite with Giovanni Stroppa, the current coach of Venezia, whom he previously assisted in reaching Serie A just two months prior. Azzi's present team, Cremonese, earned promotion to Serie A by winning the playoff against Spezia. Despite this achievement, Azzi is set to return to Serie B with Monza, a club keen on making a swift comeback following their recent relegation on May 4. Both Monza and Venezia are focused on quickly returning to the top tier.
