Salernitana, Mazzocchi’s heir arrives from Fiorentina

Salernitana, official Niccolò Pierozzi

Salernitana is running for cover in the market. After the sale of Pasquale Mazzocchi to Napoli outright, the Granata club has identified his replacement in Niccolò Pierozzi, a young right-back owned by Fiorentina. The class of 2001 arrives on loan until June, as announced by the Campania club.

"U.S. Salernitana 1919 announces that it has reached an agreement with A.C.F. Fiorentina for the temporary transfer until June 30, 2024 of defender class ’01 Niccolò Pierozzi – reads the official statement released by the Granata club -. The player will wear the shirt number 27".

Pierozzi will be available to coach Inzaghi already for Saturday’s delicate challenge against Napoli, scheduled at the stadium 'Maradona' at 15.00. However, the granata’s new acquisition is expected to start from the bench since he has not played an official match since the Europa League away match against Cukaricki.
