Andrija Novakovich has agreed to the proposal from Bari. The two clubs are working on a loan deal with an option to buy, which becomes an obligation under certain conditions.

Bari is close to finalizing a significant attacking acquisition. The American striker Andrija Novakovich, born in 1996 and currently with Venezia, is set to join Bari after spending last season on loan at Lecco, where he scored 6 goals in 38 appearances. According to Sportitalia, the rapid negotiations took shape and progressed significantly in the past 48 hours, with Bari targeting the striker who seeks a new challenge after realizing he is not in Venezia's plans following their promotion to Serie A. The transfer is expected to be a dry loan, with Novakovich, who has Serbian roots, under contract with Venezia until June 30, 2026.
