Hellas Verona is facing the national break with many players missing due to international commitments. Looking ahead to June, there are many contracts expiring.
The gialloblu of Zanetti are on a strong path towards safety, but it is necessary to analyze the players whose contracts are expiring in June to understand who will wear this jersey next season and who will not.
Hellas Verona, an overview of loans and expirations
Considering the January transfer market, Sean Sogliano has managed to bring other players to the Adige river with loan agreements, either dry or with a buyout option expiring in June.
The first name that will definitely leave the club at the end of the season is Nicolàs Valentini. The Argentine arrived from Fiorentina during the last transfer window in search of playing time but will return to La Viola.
As for buyout options, the most important name is that of Casper Tengstedt. The Danish player, on loan from Benfica, has impressed everyone at the Arena. The club must decide whether to invest those 7 million euros to acquire him permanently, but there are admirers and there may be offers.

In terms of value, next is Flavius Daniliuc, on loan from Salernitana with a buyout option set at 4 million euros. His lack of playing time is likely to convince the club to let him return to Campania, where he will probably be just passing through.
A similar situation applies to Bradaric, who has the same buyout option amount as his former Granata teammate. There could also be an end to their relationship here. As for Amin Sarr, his performance has not gone unnoticed and he has been ready to step up after Tengstedt’s injury. An agreement was reached with Lyon for about 4 million euros, and if he scores more goals in the remaining 9 matches, his stay at Hellas could become permanent.
As for Bernede, the situation is slightly different in that there is an obligation to buy tied to the team’s survival. If the goal is achieved, Presidio Investors should pay around 3.5 million euros to acquire him permanently from Lausanne.
The same situation involves Kastanos and Niasse, who will become gialloblu players in case of reaching the target amounting to 1.8 and 1.5 million euros respectively. Okou will definitely return to Bastia.
Players with expiring contracts: many veterans
As for the players who have not yet renewed their contracts and have a final expiration date set for June 2025, some of them are likely to say goodbye while others still have a chance of staying.
Among them is the match winner from Udine, Ondrej Duda. The Slovak is an integral part of the Scaligeri project, and his departure would force the club to find a suitable replacement. He has always been dedicated to the cause, but negotiations for renewal have not yet begun.
Another much talked-about name is that of Pawel Dawidowicz, who has been with the club since 2019. It seems that his time at the club is coming to an end, but he mentioned in an interview with TVP Sport: “My contract is about to expire, negotiations are underway. I am at Hellas and we have our work to do. As long as I am here, I will give my best. I have been in Verona for a long time and I am the captain. I do not want to rush into the future.”

Last but not least, there are the former captains Lazovic and Faraoni. Both are heading towards farewell to Hellas Verona for different reasons after many years.

Napoli-Torino: curiosities and statistics
Napoli has won six of the last eight matches against Torino in Serie A (1D, 1L), keeping a clean sheet five times in the process; the two matches where the Granata remained unbeaten date back to last season: 3-0 at home and 1-1 at Maradona.
Napoli is unbeaten in 12 consecutive home matches in Serie A against Torino (7W, 5D); however, the Neapolitans have drawn four of the last seven home games against the Granata, including the most recent one (1-1, March 8, 2024).
Napoli is the team that has accumulated the most points in this season against teams currently in the top positions of the Serie A table (top 10): 33 points, at least six more than any other team.
Torino has won two of the last three matches against teams starting the day in the top two positions in the Serie A table (1L), the same number of victories that the Granata achieved in the previous 33 games of this kind in the competition (9D, 22L).
Napoli has won the last two matches in Serie A (3-0 vs Empoli, 1-0 vs Monza) and has not achieved three wins in a row since the seven-match winning streak recorded between December and January; that streak also marks the last time Napoli won three consecutive matches with a clean sheet in the league (against Venezia, Fiorentina, and Hellas Verona).
In their last 10 away matches in Serie A, Torino has only lost twice, securing six draws (2W); during this period (since early December), no team has drawn more away games than the Granata in the competition (also six for Venezia).
Napoli is the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the top five European leagues this season (25); only twice have the Neapolitans conceded fewer goals after 33 matches in a Serie A season in tournaments with at least 20 teams (23 in 2017/18 and in 2022/23).
Scott McTominay has scored nine goals in this season, including a decisive one in the first leg match (1-0, December 1, 2024); in the De Laurentiis era, no Napoli midfielder has ever reached double figures in goals in their debut season in Serie A.
Romelu Lukaku has been involved in six goals (three goals, three assists) in the last three appearances at Maradona in the league, scoring in each match; only once has the Belgian scored in more consecutive home games in Serie A, reaching seven with Inter between September 2020 and January 2021.
Eljif Elmas’ first 143 appearances in Serie A, enriched by 14 goals between 2019 and 2023, came with Napoli; among the midfielders who have scored in each of the last six seasons in the competition (18 goals in total in the period), the Macedonian is the youngest (born in 1999).
