Simone Giordano, a left-back from Sampdoria, will join Mantova on loan with an option to buy set at one million euros. In the event of a future resale, Sampdoria will retain a 25% share. Giordano, a product of the blucerchiati youth system and a fan of the team, has seen his departure raise several criticisms from the fans.

Mantova has expressed interest in signing Simone Giordano. The player, who was frequently utilized by coach Pirlo last year, has had limited playing time this season. Mantova is eager to finalize the deal promptly; otherwise, they may consider other options. The transfer is contingent upon Sampdoria's acquisition of another player. Sampdoria is reportedly keeping a close watch on Pietro Beruatto, a left-back who began the season as a regular for Pisa but has recently been sidelined. The negotiations for Beruatto are progressing, and upon completion, they could pave the way for Giordano's transfer to Mantova.
