Campodarsego announces a transfer move that represents one of the most important in the club’s recent history. Samuele Longo, a striker who grew up in the Inter youth academy, is starting again from Serie D and will wear the shirt of the Padua-based team.
The centre-forward, born in 1992, with a résumé that includes 15 years of career between Serie A, Serie B and Spanish football, as well as numerous appearances with the Italian youth national teams, has chosen the biancorosso project for the upcoming season.
President Daniele Pagin commented on the deal with satisfaction: “Samuele’s arrival is an important signal for the whole environment. We are talking about a player who comes with a top-level career and who has chosen our project with conviction. We are proud that he has decided to join Campodarsego and we are certain that, in addition to his technical qualities, he will bring experience, a winning mentality, and leadership to the dressing room.”
Sporting director Mattia Bergamaschi also explained the details of the negotiation: “Samuele is a player who speaks for himself, his résumé says it all. I had already tried to sign him at the start of last season, but for family reasons he preferred to stay in Spain, where he was comfortable. This summer we got back in touch and, after discussing it with his wife, he decided to join our project.”
Bergamaschi then added some tactical considerations: “He is a centre-forward, but he is very tactically intelligent. He is not a static striker, he knows how to move, interact with his teammates and can play alongside all the forwards we have in the squad, from Cupani to Gallo, including Pasquato and Calì. Serie D is new for him, because he has always played in higher divisions. In addition to his technical contribution, he will also raise the level of the group in terms of character and mentality. He is a signing of great stature for Campodarsego.”
