Pisa closes with a move in defense. Talent Alessio Castellini acquired

The last day of transfer market ends with the signature of a very important young prospect. It is about Alessio Castellini, 21 years old, right-footed central defender for Catania, where he was captain despite his young age. Pisa he snatched him from Palermo, who were well ahead in the negotiations in the early hours of yesterday morning, but Venezia and Milan were also interested in him. The idea of ​​buying Castellini, who arrives at the Nerazzurri on loan with a right of redemption set at a figure of 850 thousand euros. The idea of ​​Castellini matured a few hours after the abrupt interruption of the Provstgaard operation.

After a meeting late in the evening between Monday and Tuesday, the directors met and the Catania defender beat the competition of another player from abroad, on the idea of ​​the sports director Davide Vaira. The two directors thus confirm themselves as a "market team", after other operations orchestrated as a pair or more by Giovanni Corrado, such as Solbakken, courted since 2023. Thus, Pisa's transfer market confirms itself as excellent in January.

The Nerazzurri club has secured striker Henrik Meister from Rennes on loan with an option to buy set at 8,6 million euros to be exercised in January 2026, then midfielder Markus Solbakken from Sparta Prague, also on loan with an option to buy set at a figure higher than 2,5 million euros, as well as winger Leonardo Sernicola from Cremonese, whose option to buy will be, if exercised, around one million euros. The club closed the January transfer market with a very high-level purchase in each department, confirming itself, in addition to being a top team, also the queen of the winter window of negotiations, net of the 'hitches', such as the request to transfer Beruatto, the 'yellow' Candela or the negotiation for Provstgaard which fell through at the last minute. Not to mention an Olimpiu Morutan to be relaunched, to embellish the market.

On the last day Dubickas was sold, returning from the loan to Feralpisalò, to go on loan to Juve Stabia. The summary of the deals. Sussi and Vignato remain in black and blue.
