Benevento, jewels at auction: Parma on Forte, Pisa on Barba
The assaults on the Benevento jewels continue unabated. Since the club has declared openly that there are no non-transferable players, there has been a real offensive on the best Giallorossi players. And despite the Samnite club’s resistance to offers that are not considered to be in line with the value of the players, attempts continue to multiply. Just to give an example, Parma did not give up in the face of the refusal of the first offer of 2.5 million for Francesco Forte. Pecchia wants the former Venice bomber at all costs and the ducal diesse Pederzoli is about to put a new proposal on the plate that should also include the striker Tutino, valued at 1.5 million euros. Benevento has not yet received it yet and awaits Parma’s moves before expressing himself. Venice too had moved for the return of the striker, but with a much lower offer (ie the amount collected a few days with the obligation triggered after the loan in January). Cagliari insists on Gianluca Lapadula, but the Sardinians currently do not have an agreement with the player and not even with Benevento, which judged the first offer of one million euros to be insufficient. Between today and tomorrow a new Capozucca-Foggia contact is expected, probably for an increase, but if we don’t reach 2 million, Benevento will not give up. As soon as the Italian-Peruvian is sold, Benevento will squeeze on another tip: Donnarumma della Ternana monitored. Another safe departure is Arturo Ionita: the Moldovan towards Greece, for him there is a request from Panathinaikos, an operation that can be closed shortly. To the lot of the suitors for Federico Barba, who wants to leave, Pisa has been added: the new coach Maran, who did not have him at Chievo, but knows very well the central defender who grew up first depends on the football school of Francesco Totti (Axa Calcio), then on Cisco and finally in the Roma youth academy. And therefore there is the Pisa su Barba as well as Lecce, Bari and Sampdoria.
And it is the young Norwegian midfielder born in 2001 from Sampdoria who has spotted Benevento and whom Foggia and Caserta like. It is about Kristoffer Askildsen, who asked to be sold in order to have more minutes. There is an interest from Spezia on him, which has not materialized yet. He can play the midfielder or the winger without distinction, he has a great physique (he is 1.90 meters tall), ability to insert and nose for goals. He is very skilled in both phases. There is no real negotiation but his is one of the profiles that the Samnite club pays attention to for the median. Sampdoria intends to send him on loan and perhaps would not disdain, as Benevento likes, the inclusion of a redemption option.
«The 2022/2023 match kit is coming. Come can you imagine it? ». Yesterday a post appeared on the profiles of Benevento Calcio and attached a photo with a shirt not on a black background to create a little colorful suspense while waiting for the launch of the new official uniforms (also this year branded Nike). The fans responded in the most disparate ways, many giving or exposing their ideas about it, invited the club to go and some peek on their profiles since they have to imagine and draw it, still others have asked (and bet) expressly on the return to traditional tunic with vertical stripes. Apparently, the nostalgic will be disappointed: the first shirt of the season, according to the rumors that filter (the kits have been delivered and are already in stock), this time will not have the canonical yellow and red stripes, but a different motif and style, plus modern. As for the presentation of the race kits, also this year there will be no events organized in presence, but it has been chosen to disseminate them through social media with photos and videos. The period should be roughly between the first ten days and the middle of July, so it is a question of waiting a maximum of another couple of weeks, or rather the return of the players from holidays to act as “models”. The kits are exclusive to the Neapolitan company “GgTeamWear”, leader in sports technical supplies, and official Nike dealer for Campania. The company of the most famous child in the world, pre-match jerseys and lifestyle garments / created exclusively for Benevento Calcio, all with the best guaranteed product quality.
As for the season ticket campaign, which reached two thousand yesterday at the top of the hill: they are 2,009 to be exact.
