According to Tuttomercato, Mantova is actively pursuing Avellino's winger, Raffaele Russo. The 1999-born player has demonstrated notable performance this season, contributing significantly to Avellino's promotion to Serie B. He achieved this by scoring multiple goals in 31 league matches, along with two additional goals in three Coppa Italia Serie C games. Besides Mantova, Catanzaro is also keen on acquiring Russo, who has just one year remaining on his contract with Avellino. This situation presents Avellino with a final chance to benefit financially from his transfer unless they opt to extend his contract. Since joining Avellino in 2022, Russo has scored 15 goals in 86 appearances across various competitions for the team.
