Mantova continues to work on the market to strengthen the team of coach Francesco Modesto. Yesterday, the director Fabio Brutti concluded an agreement with Bologna for the loan of 20-year-old Montenegrin defender Bodin Tomasevic. A young player of stature (191 cm) with good speed qualities who played 30 games in Primavera last season, scoring 2 goals. Black and white now only need the player's signature and the same applies to the loan (with buyback and counter-buyback option) of 22-year-old attacking midfielder Jonathan Silva from Torino. Today's day will be very important because Brutti will meet Parma directors to talk about Rachid Kouda's future, who Modesto wants to keep as the team's center midfielder. The biancorosso director should then have contact with Sassuolo, a society with which several discussions could be set up. Certainly, Mantova likes a talent from the neroverde Primavera: 20-year-old left winger Gabriele Negri, who played 34 games last season, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists to his teammates. The alternative remains the coetaneous Federico Chinetti from Como, but the negotiations set up weeks ago have never taken off. Another young player that Mantova wants to insert into its team is 20-year-old left winger Davide De Battisti, captain of the Verona Primavera who played 32 games last season (with a goal and 4 assists) and also collected some Serie A benches. Moving on to the players to be kept in Mantova, an answer is expected from the Portuguese Casa Pia to the Acm's requests, which is willing to redeem the 24-year-old left winger Benaissa for 700,000 euros but asks to modify the rescission clause that was inserted in the agreement of last January. There is also the chapter concerning Simone Trimboli, Davide Bragantini and Tommaso Marras, players about whom there is still talk in several cities (especially Palermo but not only). For now, the only concrete offer arrived in Viale Te is that of Groningen for Bragantini, to which the society has responded by clarifying that it is not willing to negotiate for amounts lower than 4 million euros. Finally, Brescia may be interested in Artioli and Mancuso.
