Spezia Calcio dreams of Samuele Mulattieri's return from Sassuolo

"I remain very attached to Spezia". He said it after scoring at Picco, wearing the black-green jersey, in January, and that was enough to close the case. What a case it never was, because we imagine Picco would gladly embrace him again, Samuele Mulattieri (in the photo) and Spezia would equally gladly bring him back home. For now it is a dream, but the idea is that the dream, Spezia, is intent on cultivating it at least until certainties make it vanish. It lost a B championship by the skin of its teeth, the Ligurian club, and Pio Esposito, one with 19 goals in 39 games, but it confirmed coach Luca D'Angelo with the intention of making that leap that it failed to make last season. Building a team up to the task, and starting with a striker who knows B well: Muleteers has won it twice in the last three seasons. Here's the La Spezia plan, then: gather information at Sassuolo – where the centre forwards in the squad today are six – and at the same time tickle the sense of belonging of the 'Mula'. That in Spezia he was born, he grew up in the Ligurian youth system, and with Spezia he made his debut, and scored his first goal, among the pros: his return home, who knows how possible, given that at the 'Mula' a potential horizon in Serie A opens up, is a hypothesis that the La Spezia management is evaluating and about which who knows what Sassuolo thinks. That Mulattieri secured him with a five-year contract (expires 2028) but he will have to do some calculations with the centre-forward position, given how crowded it is. Without haste, but Spezia would not be in a hurry either, aiming to convince Sassuolo, but above all Mulattieri. Who we imagine would prefer to return to Serie A with the Neroverdi but with Serie B he has good, and fortunate – 28 goals in 91 games, two championships won out of three played – habits. And to Spezia, he said, he is very attached.
