Deportivo La Coruna has confirmed the arrival of Lorenzo Amatucci, a 22‑year‑old midfielder, on a contract until 2031. The signing was announced this morning and he is already registered as a player for the club, which remains solidly in second place in the Segunda División with 77 points (22 W‑11 D‑9 L) and a recent form of LWWWW.

What does Amatucci's signing mean?

Amatucci arrives from Fiorentina after a successful loan at Las Palmas where he played 40 of the 42 league matches. Sources place the transfer fee between €2.5 million and €4 million. His profile matches Deportivo's policy: young talents with upside that can be revalued. The Italian has also been a U‑21 and U‑19 international, winning the European Championship with the U‑19 side.

How does Amatucci fit into Deportivo's system?

Deportivo's coach, Quique Setién, has noted that Amatucci brings vision and balance to the midfield. In his season at Las Palmas, the player recorded four assists and rarely missed a pass, making him ideal to link up with forwards like Luis Suárez and Álvaro García. His ability to win back the ball and distribute it will be vital in upcoming matches, especially with the pressure of being only 5 points behind leaders Racing Santander.

What does this signing mean for the promotion race?

With 65 goals scored and 44 conceded (+21 goal difference), Deportivo La Coruna continues to chase the title. Amatucci's arrival strengthens the squad ahead of the final stretch, where every point matters. The team's last result was a 1‑2 loss to Las Palmas on 31‑05‑2026, but the recent form (LLWWW) shows a bounce‑back that the new midfielder must help solidify.

What’s next for Amatucci?

The player joins training on Monday and could make his debut in the next match against Girona FC, scheduled for July 14. Setién has promised a gradual integration, but the need to keep the winning streak may speed up his involvement. Meanwhile, Deportivo's board hopes the investment will translate into a higher market value before the summer window.

Deportivo La Coruna remains firm in the promotion fight, and the contract until 2031 for Amatucci adds another piece to the puzzle aiming to crown the club champions of the Segunda División.
