Transfer news..potential arrivals and departures

Although the season has kicked off, Sean Sogliano is still busy in the transfer market.

IN

Rafael Marques

The sporting director has been busy looking for value in the South American market all summer, and has once again been making offers for players, this time in defence. Atletico Mineiro defender Rafael Marques has been the name mentioned by Sky Italia and more specifically Gianluca Di Marzio. SS is hoping to sign the player before the Roma game, but it's a possibility the defender will leave on loan to a Serie B club. He will sign a two year contract after having his release clause at Mineiro activated.

Elderson

Matteo Rubin is another name being chased by Gialloblu. The Siena defender is keen on the move, but the Tuscan club want Daniel Ragatzu to sign with them, but Verona will only allow this in a loan move.

A new name being linked is Braga defender Elderson. The Nigerian is a mainstay in the national team and impressed for the Portuguese side last season. He plays as a left back but can push forward should the need arise.

OUT

Despite the hatred that exists between the supporters, Hellas have struck a deal with Salernitana (owned by Lazio president Lotito) for the midfielder Gennaro Esposito. Returning close to his home city of Napoli, the midfielder played 74 games for Verona in Serie C, scoring four goals after signing in 2009. He spent last season in Umbria with Perugia.

Manuel Mancini

Leaving Hellas for certain is Manuel Mancini. The midfielder played his role in helping Verona to promotion from Serie C in 2010-11, particularly earlier in the season under Beppe Giannini and then Mandorlini. He spent last season at Salernitana, where he made some controversial comments about the club, and criticised Mandorlini saying the Ravenna native is too tough on his players. The Roman will now be free to sign for a new club.

Francesco Cangi

One player who will be missed is Francesco Cangi. He is in talks to join arch-rivals Vicenza, although the deal has yet to be reached. The full-back is said to be less than convinced by the magnagati's project. For now he will remain a Mastini player.
