Red Bull Salzburg, a club noted for its attention to emerging talent, approached Ascoli about 21-year-old Italian winger Simone D'Uffizi. Interest was also shown by other foreign clubs such as NEC, Groningen, and Norimberga. Within Italy, Lecce and Pisa pursued the player, and Pisa made a significant offer at the start of the transfer window. Ascoli, however, refused all offers in July. The club had renewed D'Uffizi's contract and clarified that the player is fundamental to the team and will not be sold for less than an extraordinary offer. D'Uffizi joined Ascoli in July 2023. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €600k.
