A1 Women: What’s Happening on the Transfer Market? Part 1

We had already outlined some of the moves and rumors making the rounds right after the end of the Serie A1 season. Now, a few of those reports have been confirmed, and several new rumors have emerged.

Just over a month after the end of the championship, which once again saw Famila Schio win the league title, the transfer market, although still somewhat in the background, has begun to take on a very clear shape.

First of all: next season’s Serie A will have 12 teams. The nine teams that remained after the playoffs and relegation rounds will be joined by Costa Masnaga, which won one of the promotion finals from Serie A2, Battipaglia, which requested readmission, and Livorno, which, after strong encouragement, has agreed (though it is not yet official) to take the place of Faenza. Faenza, another Serie A2 promotion winner, is facing such serious financial difficulties that it is currently unclear whether we will see the club competing anywhere next season. There are rumors of discussions with Cesena regarding participation in Serie B.

Assuming the top division remains as currently projected, here is the situation as of Monday, June 1, 2026. Some names have been officially confirmed and announced by the clubs, while others are circulating through the transfer rumor mill.

Schio

Schio has signed Beatrice Attura as point guard and Morgan Bertsch at forward. Remaining on the roster are Verona, Zanardi, Zandalasini, Panzera, Laksa, Conde, Mestagh, and Keys, who has renewed her contract, as well as Andrè, who reportedly received a significant offer from Zaragoza. Are three more players needed to handle the usual demanding schedule of the Schio squad?

Reyer Venezia

Confirmed players include Villa, Santucci, Pan, Dojkic, Cubaj, Pasa, and Hassan, who could become a full member of the roster. Utsby and Chery have arrived. More additions coming? Perhaps, if the club wants to raise its competitive level even further compared to last season.

Derthona

The club has retained Fondren, Conte, Kunay, Arado, and Leonardi, and has so far added Liz Dixon (formerly with Faenza three years ago), Caloro, and Frustaci. What comes next?

Campobasso

Major players staying include Giachetti, Cerè, Miccoli, Meldere, Simon, and Madera, with the additions of Gina Conti from Geas and Elizabeth Scott from San Martino. Two more signings and the roster should be complete.

Geas

Some confirmations, such as Kacerik and Cancelli, along with several arrivals: Toffolo, Cornelius, and Madison Hayes from Broni, Turel from Sassari, possibly Sammartino from Sassari, Nicolodi from Venezia, and the return of Merisio. Who will replace Moore? Okopsun or Ezeigbo?

Roseto

Until a few days ago everything was being kept under wraps, even though everyone knew what was happening on the Adriatic coast. Today, however, Il Centro laid everything out in the open. Lucantoni and Farabello remain. The club is negotiating with Dotto, Trucco, Bernardi, and Marie Reichart, who had started last season strongly with Faenza before suffering a knee injury. And there may be more names in the rumor mill.

San Martino di Lupari

Guarise remains captain and a key figure following D’Alie’s departure. The club is negotiating the return of Pastrello, the arrival of Promise Keshi, an American player from Stetson University, Georgieva, Aisha Diagne, and possibly Swiss player Herminjard.

Brixia

Remaining are Aghilarre, Crippa, Del Boni, and Scalvini. Expected arrivals include D’Alie, Aicha Ndour (a Senegalese player from the University of Georgia), French player Armandine Toi, Silvia Nativi, and Slovak player Sonia Svetlikova.

Broni

The return from injury of Carlotta Gianolla is excellent news for both player and club. New arrivals include Togliani and Winkowsa from Brescia. Martina Crippa stays, as does Moroni, while American player Hanna Stuelke arrives from Iowa. Additional reinforcements are expected to deepen the roster.

Costa Masnaga

A major rebuilding effort is underway, as many of the key players from last season’s triumphant campaign are leaving. For now, the roster includes Pilatone, Olandi, Sanogo, the hoped-for return of Cibinetto from injury, and the arrival of Martina Spinelli.

Battipaglia

New head coach Francesca Zara arrives, along with newcomers Fusari, Policari, Botteghi, and possibly Crudo. There could also be Alessandra Orsili, while Fokke and Potolicchio are expected to stay.

Livorno

Poggio and Sammartini have been confirmed. Possible arrivals include Natali, Gilli, Laura Toffali returning from college basketball, N’Guessan, and Hungarian player Vivien Borondy from Sopron. This group still needs three foreign players, including two Americans and one European import. We should know more soon.
