Matteo Pessina, the midfielder born in `97 and captain of Monza, is a candidate to leave the club following their recent relegation to Serie B and the ownership change to American fund Beckett Layne Ventures. Despite Monza`s stated ambitions, the player remains highly sought after in Serie A, with several top-flight clubs expressing interest in signing him.
Sassuolo is among the teams actively pursuing the midfielder, aiming to bolster their midfield options for coach Fabio Grosso. Genoa and Torino have also registered their interest in the player. Pessina`s versatility and extensive experience in Serie A and with the Italian national team make him a desirable target, valued for his tactical intelligence and ability to play various roles in the central area of the pitch.
According to reports, Cagliari has also entered the race for Pessina`s signature. The Sardinian club joins a growing list of potential suitors. Pessina, a Euro 2021 champion with Italy alongside Domenico Berardi, has accumulated 87 appearances and scored 12 goals in Serie A for Monza. These statistics underscore his significant experience in Italy`s top flight, which could prove highly beneficial for coach Alessandro Pisacane in his first season as a head coach.
