A completely new Lecce. Corvino raises again

Pantaleo Corvino knows football like few others, and even in this transfer session he made some particularly interesting shots. As usual, names for the initiated, like that of the 1997-born Angolan Kialonda Gaspar, signed from Estrela Amadora, in Portugal, and costing 2 million: physique like a cuirassier, he will make up a central pair with Baschirotto which, in terms of kilos and centimetres, will have no equal in A. Will it be effective? All to be discovered, but in the meantime Gaspar, in the summer friendlies, amazed and convinced.

Tete Morente, attacking winger born in 1996, comes from Elche, Spanish second division, and from the French second division, precisely from Quevilly-Rouen, here is 2000 Balthazar Pierret, midfielder: all blows to Corvino (who came from Ligue 2, some time ago, even Gendrey), bets which then, in the end, often succeed, as has happened in recent times, just to give two examples, to Dorgu, Kristovic and Banda, to a Pierotti who could have more space this season, and who are still in the squad available to Gotti. The 22-year-old Polish playmaker Filip Marchwinski, formerly of Lech Poznan, is applying for a starting role: he too is little known, in reality, at his age, he has made over 120 appearances in the Ekstraklasa and, after his stint in the Polish youth selections , today he is part of the senior national team. Here too, an intriguing bet.

Pongracic's departure towards Fiorentina will weigh heavily, but the 15 million collected by the club are enough to look at the operation with a smile, because the stability of the accounts, for those who still have to fight for salvation, can only be the beacon of the entire corporate action. Of course, if Corvino then takes care of the incoming market, everything is easier.
