According to Tuttomercato, Padova's interest in Zanon is made particularly relevant by the recent arrival of Antonio Calabro as coach. Zanon knows Calabro well, as the two worked together at Carrara in recent years.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Padova has made an important offer to Carrarese for Zanon.

Simone Zanon, a 24-year-old Italian right-back who was a key player with Calabro at Carrarese, had a season with four goals and seven assists in 35 appearances and is nearing a transfer to Padova. The transfer is reportedly nearing completion. Zanon's contract at Carrarese runs until June 2027, and his current market value is €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. Lecce has also been associated with the player.
