Sassuolo CEO Open to Discussions on Berardi’s Potential Transfer

Sassuolo’s Chief Executive Officer Giovanni Carnevali has revealed that the club is prepared to entertain offers for their star player Domenico Berardi, despite no current requests for the forward. Carnevali disclosed that both Juventus and Atalanta had previously shown interest in acquiring Berardi.

The 30-year-old Italian international recently returned to action after recovering from an Achilles tendon injury. His impact was immediately felt, contributing nine assists and three goals in just ten appearances, helping Sassuolo climb to the top of the league table.

Carnevali stated, “At present, our primary focus is on Berardi’s successful return from injury and his performance for Sassuolo. However, we are open to evaluating any proposals that may come our way, as we have always done. If clubs express interest, we will certainly sit down for discussions.”

He added, “Berardi’s situation is unique. There have been several opportunities in the past where a transfer could have materialized, but for various reasons, including our reluctance to sell and the player’s own preferences, these moves did not come to fruition. We’ve received inquiries from clubs like Juventus and Atalanta over the years, but the right combination of factors, including satisfactory economic offers, hasn’t aligned yet.”

As the January transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether any Serie A clubs will make a move for Berardi, and if so, whether Sassuolo will be willing to part with their talismanic forward.
