Lecce left-back Gallo targeted by Besiktas
Another Italian full-back could be on his way out of Serie A, as there are reports Besiktas are in negotiations for Lecce player Antonino Gallo. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Gallo is not expected to remain at Lecce next season after they narrowly managed to avoid relegation. Advertisement Besiktas have set their sights on the 25-year-old, although talks are still at a very early stage. Gallo expected to leave Lecce LECCE, ITALY – DECEMBER 01: Antonino Gallo of Lecce competes for the ball with Francisco Conceicao of Juventus during the Serie A match between Lecce and Juventus at Stadio Via del Mare on December 01, 2024 in Lecce, Italy. (Photo by) The asking price would be in the region of €7m, a significant profit considering he was snapped up as a free agent from Palermo in 2019. His contract at the Stadio Via del Mare only runs to June 2026, but there is an option to extend by a further year too. The left-back made 33 competitive appearances for Lecce this season between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, contributing three assists. There does seem to be a trend for left-backs to leave Italy this summer, as Atalanta have agreed to sell Matteo Ruggeri to Atletico Madrid.

Lecce 1-1 Venezia: Baschirotto rescues a point in dogfight
Serie A | Lecce 1-1 Venezia: Baschirotto rescues a point in dogfight Lecce came back from an Antonino Gallo own goal to hold Venezia 1-1 with Federico Baschirotto's header, but will still see this as a disappointing relegation dogfight result. Both teams were in the bottom four and feeling the pressure in this huge clash at the Stadio Via del Mare. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia returned from suspension for the visitors, but Michael Svoboda, Alfred Duncan, Mirko Maric and Filip Stankovic missed out. Advertisement Ylber Ramadani, Tete Morente and John Yeboah had efforts from distance, while Federico Baschirotto was inches away from opening the scoring by redirecting a set play. However, it was Venezia who took the lead after the restart, when Alessio Zerbin's free kick was flashed into the six-yard box, so in an attempt to anticipate Christian Gytkjaer, Antonino Gallo accidentally shinned it into his own net. LECCE, ITALY – APRIL 06: Players of Venezia celebrate the opening goal during the Serie A match between Lecce and Venezia at Stadio Via del Mare on April 06, 2025 in Lecce, Italy. (Photo by) Lecce thanked another defender for the equaliser, also from a set play routine, as Baschirotto shrugged off his marker to nod in a corner. Daniel Fila almost managed to pounce on a dangerous Berisha back-pass for Wladimiro Falcone. Advertisement Lecce nearly turned it around completely on 79 minutes, when Konan N'Dri saw his effort bounce off the inside of the near post, roll along the face of goal and back out again, set up for him by Nikola Krstovic. Ionut Radu was also decisive to keep out a Baschirotto free header from point-blank range, while the penalty appeals were waved away because the ball struck Fali Candé on the chest first and then ricocheted onto his arm in a natural position. Baschirotto was crucial at both ends, because in stoppages he threw himself in the way of Gaetano Oristanio's counter-attack. Despite coming back to grab a point, ending a run of five consecutive defeats, Lecce were loudly jeered by the home fans at the final whistle.
