The reparations market sees Italian teams starring in never-before-seen financial transactions: one of them is Pantaleo Corvino’s Lecce
Lecce boom: offerti 20 milioni alla Roma! La risposta giallorossa (LaPresse) – serieanews.com
Let’s face it: we had never seen a January market like this, for better or worse: excellent disposals and important arrivals, with mind-boggling figures that enrich our teams and allow them to reinvest quite a bit of money.
Napoli has just cashed in 75 million for Kvaratskhelia and is reinvesting heavily to strengthen the squad. Now, an equally sensational deal is about to materialize at Lecce: Patrick Dorgu is one step away from a transfer to Manchester United for 30 million plus 7.5 million in bonuses. A record sum for the Apulian club, which will generate an equally extraordinary capital gain.
With such economic availability, the director of the technical area Pantaleo Corvino wasted no time and immediately set to work to strengthen the team. According to some rumors learned by our editorial staff, Corvino decided to invest an amount never reached before by the Salento club: as much as 20 million euros.
The name identified to give Lecce a jump in quality is that of Niccolò Pisilli, a young Roma midfielder who is finding more and more space under Claudio Ranieri.
This is definitely a tempting offer, considering that Pisilli has collected only 19 Serie A appearances so far and still has everything to prove. But if Corvino decides to invest such a large sum on a player, it is a sign that the talent is there, and plenty of it, too.

And Roma? It sent the offer back to sender. The Giallorossi club sees in Pisilli not only a key element already in the present, but above all one of the pillars on which to build the future. The club’s will is clear: to bring the boy up at home, allow him to establish himself and perhaps one day see him wear the captain’s armband. A new future captain on whom Roma wants to bet and whom it will not give up unless a truly unrenounceable sum is involved.

This is not the first time Roma has found itself having to resist offers for its young talent. In recent years, the Giallorossi club has had to deal with advances from several teams for players from its nursery. Pisilli’s case fits perfectly into this internal enhancement strategy, which aims to give continuity and identity to the team of the future.
On the other hand, Lecce has shown that it knows how to work well with young people, turning promises into certainties. The case of Dorgu, ready to fly to the Premier League, is the clearest demonstration of this. Corvino and his staff will continue to sound out the market in search of the right profile, perhaps identifying a lesser-known but equally promising talent.
Lecce will therefore have to look elsewhere to invest the treasure derived from the sale of Dorgu, while Pisilli will continue his path in the Giallorossi, with the hope of becoming a mainstay of the Roma team to come.
