Cremonese have officially signed two new players today, bringing back Federico Baschirotto from Lecce and securing Alessio Zerbin from Napoli.
They were the last club to secure their place in Serie A for this season, earning promotion via the play-offs to join Sassuolo and Pisa in stepping up from Serie B.
Alessio Zerbin joins Cremonese
This is a very special move for Baschirotto, who came up through their youth academy and left in 2021, then made his impact in Serie A in 2022 with Lecce.
After 112 Serie A appearances for the Salentini, where he also became their captain, he opted for a return to where it all began in Cremona.
This is a permanent transfer, reported to be worth circa €3m.
As for Napoli winger Zerbin, it is a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season if certain conditions are met.
The 26-year-old made the loan move for €250,000, while Cremonese are set to pay €2m plus €1m in add-ons if they manage to secure their Serie A status.
