Mattia Caldara lands on Gulf shores

Defense reinforcement for Luca Gotti

Spezia has secured for next season the services of Mattia Caldara, an AC Milan-owned defender who wore the Venezia jersey last year. This was announced by the Ligurian club itself on Sunday evening.

Luca Gotti will therefore have an extra defender in the squad for the 2022/23 championship that will begin in just under a month. Caldara, who arrives from AC Milan on loan with an option to buy outright at the end of June 2023, has already joined the group, making his debut in the preseason leg against amateurs Stegen in the Santa Cristina retreat.

Caldara, born in 1994, hopes to find in La Spezia that revival, after a career punctuated by injuries, that he failed to fully succeed in Venice, in a season that ended with the relegation of the lagoon club.
