Venezia, the newly promoted Serie A team, is focused on strengthening their squad before they make their return to the top flight. With the goal of avoiding relegation in their first season back, they have set their sights on Matteo Canciellieri, a winger currently on loan at Empoli from Lazio.
Canciellieri, a product of the Roma youth academy, had success at Hellas Verona before returning to Lazio in 2022. However, he struggled for playing time in his first season back at Lazio under Maurizio Sarri, leading to his loan spell at Empoli. The 22-year-old had a good season with Empoli, scoring four goals and providing three assists, including one that helped secure their survival in dramatic fashion.
Venezia has recently appointed Eusebio Di Francesco as their new head coach and will now focus on the transfer market. Canciellieri’s contract with Lazio expires in June 2023, making him a potential target for Venezia as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Serie A campaign.
With Di Francesco’s appointment as head coach and Canciellieri’s potential arrival, Venice is determined to avoid relegation and make a strong impression in Serie A.
