Catanzaro nearly secured promotion for the 2026-27 edition of Serie A, losing the play-offs tie against Monza on account of their league table position. Indeed, the aggregate score was 2-2 after the two games, but Monza finished higher in the league standings and thus clinched promotion.
Liberali played an important role for the team throughout the entire season, adding a spark of creaticity in his No.10 role. As such, it’s not exactly surprising to hear that several clubs are monitoring his future.
€6m clause and Milan’s 50%
According to Nico Schira, Sassuolo and Como are the frontrunners to sign the former Milan man this summer. Juventus are also in the mix, especially since their new CEO Giovanni Carnevali wanted the player when he was at Sassuolo.
In Liberali’s contract, there is supposedly a €6m release clause and Milan are entitled to 50% of that, as they allowed the attacking midfielder to leave for free last summer. In other words, Milan will be keeping an eye on the developments as they might bank some money.
A lot of fans would like to see Liberali return to the club, but considering the latest rumours, that feels like a remote possibility.
