Tuttomercato reported that Bari and Frosinone were interested in Tommaso Cassandro. Polito had sought the player at the start of the summer transfer window, but Como rejected offers from both clubs.

Under Fabio Caserta's guidance, Bari has shown interest in acquiring Tommaso Cassandro, a right-back born in 2000, whose registration is currently held by Como. SkySport reported that Caserta himself likely influenced this interest. Cassandro was a standout player for his team last year in Calabria, where he made 32 appearances and scored 2 goals. Developed in Bologna's youth academy, Cassandro has played for Novara, Cittadella, and Lecce. Originating from Dolo in the province of Venice, Cassandro might follow in the footsteps of Giuseppe Magalini and Fabio Caserta, both of whom transitioned from Catanzaro to Bari, with Caserta poised to take over Moreno Longo's role at San Nicola.
