Emmanuele Matino, a defender for Bari, is set to leave the club. He is close to a transfer, with Catania being one of the contending clubs. The farewell move is imminent.

Catania is also interested in acquiring Emmanuele Matino, competing with Vicenza and Audace Cerignola for the player. The Serie C clubs are actively exploring the possibility of signing Matino, who currently plays for Bari. While a previous deal with Avellino fell through due to economic disagreements, Catania, along with Vicenza and Audace Cerignola, is now seeking to reach an agreement with Bari before the transfer window closes on February 3.
