“I already feel like one of them, as if I’ve been in Bari for a lifetime”. Jeremy Menez hasn’t worn the red and white shirt yet, yet he speaks like a veteran. “I found a really healthy environment. Me leader? The group decides. When you run three meters longer, for the benefit of your partner, you make a difference. In this Bari we have everything to do the right things”.

The meeting and feeling with sporting director Polito, an annual contract (with an option to renew in case of A), the very warm welcome from Valerio Di Cesare and his associates: Menez could not have started his fourth adventure in Italy better after Rome, Milan and Reggina. “Italy is my second country. But I don’t want to live on memories. Even if I will never forget the goal against Parma, when I was at Milan. A footballer’s journey is made up of good things and mistakes, everything helps to grow. If I were a beginner, I would repeat to myself that it is a great fortune to play football. I feel lucky”.

In Reggio

After 3 seasons, 67 appearances and 13 goals for Reggina, Menez knows Serie B well: “It’s not easy, you can’t give up for a moment because anything can happen. Just think of what happened to us last year. Bari is leaving behind a season full of great things. But in football we immediately move on to the next page. It’s up to us to stubbornly pursue another goal”.

Goalkeepers Meanwhile in Bari the transfer of goalkeeper Elia Caprile to Napoli is official, who will then transfer him on loan to Empoli. It is difficult to quantify the capital gain (around 6 million euros), certain that a percentage will end up in the coffers of the English club Leeds, where Caprile played three years ago. Meanwhile, the meeting between sporting director Polito and the agent of the Brazilian goalkeeper Brenno, chosen by Bari just like Caprile’s heir, has been postponed to today. Finally, the attacking full-back Francesco Scafetta (21 years old) arrives from Vibonese, who will shortly be loaned to Messina by Bari.
