Balthazar Pierret, a French midfielder born in 2000, joins Lecce from Rouen, a French second-division club. The transfer was delayed due to security measures in place for the G7 summit in Italy.

The arrival of Pierret at Lecce was delayed by a few days due to the G7 summit in Italy, which created high alert in Puglia and restricted air traffic. Medical examinations and signing were postponed.

Balthazar Pierret will arrive in Salento for medical examinations and to officially become a Lecce player.

Balthazar Pierret will become a new player for Lecce from July, acquired at no cost from Quevilly Rouen. He ended his Ligue 2 season with the bad news that his club has been relegated to the third tier.
