After Roma, Lazio and Juventus, the Salernitana stops another championship great and ends his season by scoring three goals at San Siro against second-placed Milan thanks to a good comeback in the second half. Paradoxical that the worst team of all time in the era of three points and the 20-team Serie A managed to achieve almost all the – few – positive results against the teams occupying the left area of the table. In fact, also worth remembering are the 2-2 in the first leg at the end of a match dominated for almost 90 minutes, the 0-0 with Juric’s Turin and the truly impressive performances against Napoli, Juventus at Arechi and Atalanta a few weeks ago . Of course, too little to change opinions compared to what the Granata have demonstrated over the course of the year. Four coaches, two sporting directors, a flop transfer market in the summer and an even worse one in the winter, the rift between ownership and part of the fans, worst defence, one of the worst attacks, zero successes in 2024, only one home victory, 13 knockouts against Arechi out of 19 and last success which dates back to December 2023. A total disaster.
Now, however, it is time to think about the future and the latest rumors speak of an Iervolino who is increasingly determined to leave the world of football and sell the club. Provided, however, that all the expenses incurred are amply covered and that you gain an economic advantage, as any intelligent entrepreneur would do. And so there is the hypothesis of a club that monetizes by selling the 3-4 best players (one step away from the farewell of Tchaouna, for example), collects the parachute and the last 3.2 million euro installment from DAZN and then delves into the discussion with one of the two interesting American funds. Apparently ready to wait any longer as long as the current ownership also starts working on the sporting front by identifying the new sporting director, a general director and a coach within a couple of weeks. Stefano Colantuono will not remain and will almost certainly be confirmed as head of the youth sector.
In the end it will be a total revolution, with the risk of cutting all members and in all sectors. There is a risk that almost nothing will remain of the current player pool. In addition to Tchaouna, Pasalidis, Pirola, Bradaric, Kastanos, Coulibaly and the returnees Sepe, Valencia and Bonazzoli will also be sold. The 400 thousand clause will be paid which will allow Candreva to release himself, while the various Ochoa, Costil, Boateng, Manolas, Fazio, Pellegrino, Gomis, Vignato, Basic, Weismann, Pierozzi and Zanoli are already considered former. Some chance of permanence for Fiorillo, Gyomber, Maggiore, Legowski and one between Simy and Ikwuemesi, to be resolved then the Dia problem with which a dispute has been going on for months which could result in a further fine and a reduction in salary. According to what is filtering out, the management is trying in every way to find buyers even at the cost of resigning themselves to a capital loss: watch out for Fiorentina, but the former Villareal man’s dream remains the Premier League.
