Udinese willing to buy Saric to free Sottil from the Ascoli “knot”

Possible exchange with the former Primavera Battistella in the Marche The Bosnian costs 4 and a half million and is liked by half Serie A

UDINE

Not just a negotiation on the names of collaborators who could follow him to Udinese, and not just compensation to Ascoli in the form of one or more young people to be sent to the Marche. In order to get to wear the Friulian black and white Andrea Sottilentrusting him with the technical leadership of the team for next season with an annual contract for 300 thousand euros, Udinese is willing to buy a player from Ascoli, and more precisely Dario SaricBosnian midfielder born in 1997 for whom there is a row in Serie A, from Turin, to Atalanta, passing through Verona Gabriele Cioffi to Sampdoria and the newly promoted Cremonese.

This is the idea had yesterday from Gino Pozzoeager to give a clean break to the coach issue, with Sottil still stranded in the network of the Marche club which he asked for the termination of the contract valid until June 30, 2023, leaving however the “grain” of the technical staff pending, since the collaborators (who in the count from five became six with the addition of the mental coach Eugenio Vassalle), all due to expire in 2023, would remain on the payroll of the Marche region. Udinese, in fact, does not intend to take on the entire staff it had so far from Sottil, even if it could lead to a mediation by bringing a couple of staff like the match analyst to Friuli Salvatore Gentile and the trusted technical collaborator Gianluca Cristaldiknown in Syracuse in 2015.

Instead, the deputy should not arrive in Friuli Simone Baroncelliwho yesterday posted on social media an emblematic photo about his future, wearing a shirt from Ascoli, the athletic trainer Ignazio Cristian Bella and the goalkeeper trainer Amedeo Petrazzuoloeven if Udinese lost his column yesterday in this role Alex Brunner – destined to remain “in the family”, at Watford, for the next two seasons -, promoting in his place Sergio Marcon. All this, after having remembered that the Friulian staff also remained without a deputy Giampiero Pinziof the athletic trainer Antonio Bovenzi e del match analyst Enrico Iodicewho followed Cioffi to Verona.

Needless to say, we will have to work on the staff, but for now these are only complications in the eyes of Gino Pozzo, ready to propose an exchange of players that can partially repay the Ascoli president Massimo Pulcinellisaid he was sorry about Sottil’s departure.

As we anticipated yesterday, Ascoli aimed at the twenty-year-old midfielder Thomas Battistella, former Primavera, 34 appearances and 7 goals in Carrarese in C, but the novelty is the purchase of a player proposed by Sottil himself, who has found a very loyal player in Saric, employed 54 times in a year and a half. The valuation is around 4 and a half million, a figure that will then be revised by decreasing the price of Battistella and the compensation for the termination of Sottil. –
