Brescia is showing strong interest and proposed a loan with an obligation to buy. The 23-year-old forward, who has not yet renewed his contract with Pescara, is being pursued by several clubs. If Pescara agrees, Merola will continue the season in Serie B. Previously, Merola declined offers from Avellino and Trapani and saw negotiations with Sparta Rotterdam and Bari fall through before Brescia's persistent approach.
