Venezia had initially planned to acquire Paulo Azzi, the Brazilian full-back, but the transfer will not proceed unless unexpected developments arise. Monza stepped into the negotiations, preventing Azzi from transferring to Venezia. Monza took decisive action by entering the discussions with Cremonese, Azzi's current club, and quickly finalized the agreement. Born in 1994, Azzi is anticipated to sign with Monza on Saturday, August 9th. His contract with Cremonese was supposed to run until June 30, 2026, and Transfermarkt values him at €800k. Although he had previously helped Cremonese secure promotion to Serie A under the management of Giovanni Stroppa, who is now coaching Venezia, Azzi will be joining Monza's ambitious Serie B squad, which is aiming for a quick return to the top division following their recent relegation.
