Deportivo La Coruna has announced that Italian midfielder Lorenzo Amatucci will sign his contract this Wednesday and join the club permanently. The deal, sealed between Deportivo, Fiorentina and the player, is already complete; only the official presentation remains.

How was the transfer finalized?

Amatucci's representatives, the Gersh agency, arrived in A Coruña on the afternoon of July 10 to finalize paperwork. Gersh also manages several Deportivo academy graduates such as Kevin, Noé, Barcia and Jairo, easing the new midfielder's integration. The move involves no transfer fee, as the Italian finished a loan spell at UD Las Palmas last season.

What does Amatucci bring to midfield?

Amatucci is known for his game vision and ball‑winning ability. At UD Las Palmas, under Luis García, he became a key figure, playing 28 matches and scoring three goals in the 2025‑26 campaign. His arrival strengthens a midfield already featuring Villares, Riki, Gijselhart, Patiño and Jurado, but one that needs fresh legs for the second half of the season.

What does this mean for the squad?

With Amatucci in the group, Deportivo will need to decide the fate of at least two players who may look for exits. The board has hinted at selling some midfielders who have struggled for minutes. The Italian’s presence also opens tactical options, as the coach could shift to a three‑pivot system in midfield.

What’s next after his unveiling?

The club plans to announce the signing officially on its website and social channels on Friday, July 12. In the meantime, Amatucci will train with the first team to adapt to Deportivo’s style of play. Fans expect to see him on the pitch in the upcoming league match against Albacete, scheduled for July 20.

With this move, Deportivo La Coruna signals its intent to bolster the roster and compete for the top spots in the Segunda División. Amatucci’s arrival could be the spark the midfield needs to improve its performance in the coming fixtures.
