SS Monopoli 1966 has signed an agreement for the sporting services of Sergio Contessa until June 30, 2025. Contessa is a left-back, born in Francavilla Fontana and grew up in the Lecce youth academy. He played the first part of the season with Taranto, making 15 appearances.

Sergio Contessa has resolved his contract with Taranto and signed a six-month contract with Monopoli, with an option for renewal in case of promotion to Serie B. The transfer was confirmed by Tuttomercatoweb.com. Monopoli managed to secure Contessa by beating the competition from Trento and Pro Patria, who had shown interest in recent days.

Sergio Contessa, an experienced defender, has ended his contract with Taranto due to the club's persistent financial and administrative problems, which have resulted in a widespread departure of players as the club encounters a transfer ban. Monopoli has expressed significant interest in signing him, having taken decisive steps to secure the player, who was also under observation by Trento and Pro Patria from Serie C's Girone A. Although no agreement has been reached yet, Monopoli remains optimistic about concluding the transfer to bring Contessa to the team under coach Colombo, considering him a valuable asset to help meet their seasonal goals.
