Parma have sold Cristian Galano to Pescara, while purchasing Alessandro Martella and Fabian Pavone.

The Ducali completed the transfers this afternoon with the Serie B outfit.

Galano joins Pescara on a permanent transfer, while teenage sensations Martella and Pavone signed contracts to June 2024.

It is another move for 28-year-old winger Galano, who spent this season on loan at Foggia.

Stefano Sensi’s move to Inter is ready for completion, with Andrew Gravillon and Marco Sala going to Sassuolo.

The Italy international midfielder and his agent were at the Nerazzurri headquarters this afternoon to work out the final details.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the medical is set for Tuesday or Wednesday and he’ll move on loan for €5m with option to buy at the end of the season for another €25m.

Parma are reportedly close to Pescara's Senegalese midfielder Franck Kanoute, on loan initially with an option to buy.

According to Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, Gialloblu sporting director Daniele Faggiano has asked about the possibility of signing the youngster on loan with the right to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

The 20-year-old made 10 appearances in Serie B this season for the Abruzzese club.

Marco Verratti “hasn’t forgotten” his partnership with Lorenzo Insigne, but warns Italy have “achieved nothing” after beating Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-1.

The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder completed the turnaround from an Edin Dzeko opener, as Lorenzo Insigne scored a sensational volley and then set him up for the winner.

Giuseppe Pillon has stepped down as Pescara Coach after they bowed out of the Serie B playoffs. 

The Delfini lost the second leg of their semi-final 1-0 to Verona on Sunday night after the first game ended goalless.

“I thank my players who gave everything, I thank the club who brought me here, especially director Giorgio Repetto,” Pillon said after the match.

“I’m sorry we couldn’t reach the playoff Final and, in particular, I’m sorry for the fans, whom I’ve always felt close to.

Hellas Verona will face Cittadella in the Serie B promotion play-off final after their 1-0 victory away to Pescara.

The first leg of this semi-final had ended 0-0 at the Bentegodi, so Verona were feeling the pressure.

As they had finished the regular season higher up the table, Pescara only needed a draw to go through.

However, after Verona goalkeeper Marco Silvestri made a desperate save on Leonardo Mancuso from close range, Gennaro Scognamiglio brought down Samuel Di Carmine for a penalty, which the striker also converted.

Cittadella earned a shock 3-0 away victory to knock Benevento out of the Serie B promotion play-off semi-finals, 4-2 on aggregate.

The first leg had put the ball firmly in Benevento’s court, as they picked up a 2-1 away victory.

However, that was thrown away by half-time at the Stadio Vigorito, as Davide Diaw struck on a rapid counter-attack, then Giuseppe Panico’s right-foot strike took a deflection off Nicolas Viola to beat Montipe at the near post.

Benevento have the upper hand in the Serie B promotion play-off semi-finals after a 2-1 win away to Cittadella, but Verona only drew 0-0 with Pescara.

Despite being the visitors, Pescara had the best chance at the Bentegodi with Leonardo Mancuso thumping the upright.

The second legs of the semi-finals are on May 25 and 26.

Hellas Verona needed extra time to beat 10-man Perugia and set up a Serie B promotion play-off semi-final against Pescara.

Verona broke through just before the break with Samuel Di Carmine’s turn and strike, but despite seeing Christian Kouan sent off for a second bookable offence, Perugia still equalised with a last-gasp Luca Vido penalty.

Giampaolo Pazzini’s last-gasp effort was deflected on to the crossbar, so they had to go to extra time.

Pescara wasted an opportunity to break into the top four, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Perugia on Friday night.
