First ring for Giovanni Crociata. The Erzurumspor midfielder scored his first goal for the Turkish team in the match won against Igdir. “It was a great goal, he came close to it a few games ago. We spoke a few days ago and he was excited. It seems like he’s been playing in Türkiye all his life, he’s had a big impact,” agent Andrea Fulco tells TuttoMercatoWeb.com.
How did the negotiation come about?
“One of my collaborators has a contact in Türkiye. The coach immediately insisted on meeting Giovanni, the interest was strong. And so we wanted to try this experience straight away.”
And if Italy were to recall…
“It depends, maybe we would think about it. Then he is from Palermo, he has the dream of playing for Palermo. Italy is always Italy. But the Turkish opportunity was too important that it will make him grow even more. It’s a positive experience.”
Beltrame?
“He is training with Lecco. In the end we didn’t find an agreement to sign, but we are looking around. He has requests abroad, but he wants to return to being a protagonist in Italy.”
Brown?
“He had an important start to the season. He had an injury, we hope he recovers soon.”
