Roberto Inglese is heading back to Parma, on a €2m loan with obligation to buy for €18m plus bonuses, after failing to get a game for Napoli.

According to both Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, the deal was struck this morning.

It’s a comeback for the 27-year-old, who Napoli purchased from Chievo for €12m in 2017, leaving him on loan at the Bentegodi for that season.

He then went out on loan to Parma for €3m last term, scoring nine goals in 25 Serie A appearances.

Lazio are reportedly pushing to sign Chievo’s €4m-rated midfielder Sofian Kiyine.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport’s Nicolo Schira, Lazio are ‘accelerating’ for Kiyine and are ‘ready’ to close a €4m deal.

The 21-year-old made 25 appearances for the Yellow Submarine last season but could not help prevent their relegation to Serie B.

He has represented Morocco at youth level, although he is still eligible to play for Belgium.

Former Parma, Chievo and Fiorentina left-back Massimo Gobbi has announced his retirement from professional football.

Gobbi played just 17 times for Parma last season and turns 39 in October.

“Thirty years ago, my first season as a footballer ended...” he wrote on Instagram.

“My career ended 30 years later. It was a wonderful journey! Thank you to my family. Thank you to those who were there then and are also there now.

Chievo have officially loaned Federico Barba to Real Valladolid with an option to buy that becomes an obligation with certain conditions.

The defender completes the transfer, which is believed to become an obligatory purchase if Valladolid avoid relegation from La Liga.

Spain is not new to the 25-year-old centre-back, who already played for Sporting Gijon.

He leaves Chievo after 30 competitive appearances last season.

Chievo defender Federico Barba is on the verge of a loan with option to buy towards Real Valladolid.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the 25-year-old centre-back has agreed terms and the two clubs gave the all-clear.

It’ll be a one-season loan with option to buy, but that becomes an obligation if Real Valladolid successfully avoid relegation from La Liga.

This would be a return to Spain for well-travelled Barba, who has already played for Sporting Gijon and also Stuttgart in Germany.

Chievo have hired club legend Sergio Pellissier as their new technical director.

Pellissier retired from professional football at the end of last season, and it was confirmed on Friday that he would take charge of Chievo’s technical area.

The 40-year-old forms a new-look managerial team with ex-teammate Michele Marcolini, who was appointed Coach only yesterday.

Freshly-relegated Chievo have appointed former midfielder Michele Marcolini as their new Coach.

Marcolini succeeds Domenico Di Carlo, who was not retained following their relegation to Serie B.

The 43-year-old made over 150 appearances for Chievo between 2006 and 2011 and also played for the likes of Bari, Vicenza and Atalanta.

He later went into management in the lower Leagues, most recently Serie C side AlbinoLeffe, steering them to safety last season.

Giampiero Ventura is officially the new Coach of Serie B outfit Salernitana with a one-year contract and option for a second.

The 71-year-old former Torino, Italy and Chievo tactician was announced this afternoon.

It’s reported that the option for a second season will become automatic if Salernitana earn promotion to Serie A.

The club is owned by Lazio President Claudio Lotito and only narrowly avoided relegation this term.

Giampiero Ventura is ready for a return to management, as he is expected to sign a one-year contract with Serie B side Salernitana.

The former Torino and Italy boss had a very brief spell on the Chievo bench in November 2018, lasting only four games before walking away.

According to Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, Ventura is on the verge of signing a one-year deal with Salernitana, possibly with an option for a second season.

Genoa have reportedly reached an agreement to sign striker Andrea Pinamonti from Inter for €18m, with Chievo making a profit too.

According to both La Gazzetta dello Sport and FcInterNews.it, the Grifone will offer the young hitman a contract worth €1.5m plus bonuses rising through the years to €3m.

However, the Nerazzurri will have the right of first refusal if the Rossoblu consider selling him in the future.
