Domenico Berardi is set to leave Sassuolo this summer, with four major Italian clubs already lining up to secure his signature.
The news, which has been circulating for years, is finally expected to become a reality in the coming transfer window.
Berardi, who enjoys the status of an Italian international, is determined not to remain in Serie B.
Several sources close to the club have confirmed that the 28-year-old winger will be available at a reduced price, making him an attractive option for the top Italian teams.
One insider has shared, “Berardi is ready for a new challenge and it’s the right time for both him and Sassuolo to make this move,” according to quotes gathered by Calciomercato.
The clubs interested in Berardi’s services include Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Napoli.
Each of these clubs sees Berardi’s experience and skill as a valuable addition to their squads.
“We’re looking into all potential transfers this summer, and Berardi is certainly a player of interest,” disclosed a representative from AC Milan, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Meanwhile, Sassuolo are eager to rebuild and see this as an opportunity to invest in emerging talents.
“We believe in our project and this allows us to explore new prospects,” a club spokesperson mentioned to Sky Sport Italia.
Fans may be disappointed to see Berardi leave, but the potential for exciting young talents to break through could soften the blow.
As the transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see which club manages to secure Berardi’s talents for the upcoming season.
