US Cremonese has announced a clear reduction of its squad: defender Zanimacchia has been transferred out and midfielder Sernicola is set to leave, bringing the total number of players to 39, including youngsters and loan returns.

Why is Cremonese trimming its roster?

The coach and management decided to lighten the group to avoid salary overload and give more playing time to promoted youth. After Lorenzo Berti arrived from Cesena at the end of June, the squad counted 39 members; the departure of Silvestri to Karagümrük and Lapo Nava's loan to Alcione have already started the slimming process.

Which players are exiting?

Zanimacchia, a 24‑year‑old centre‑back, ended his spell with Cremonese after an uneven season, while 22‑year‑old Sernicola, a midfielder, has been placed on the transfer list. Both had limited Serie A appearances, but the board sees them as sell‑able to free up space for new signings.

What are the next market moves?

The club plans to bring in Fellipe Jack, a defender from Como, expected next week. The priority remains selling a few players before considering further purchases, ensuring a balanced budget while aiming for a Serie A campaign.

How does this affect the Serie A goal?

President Baschirotto reiterated that promotion stays the main target. Cutting the squad allows resources to focus on a tighter, more competitive core and to give continuity to youngsters regarded as the club’s asset. If sales conclude quickly, Cremonese can reinforce with fresh faces and keep the push toward the top flight.
