Reggiana, the transfer of Matteo Maggio to Ravenna has fallen through. The news comes after everything seemed done, but problems with the player's wages blocked the agreement.

What happened?

The main problem was related to Maggio's wages, which were supposed to be part of a lucrative multi-year contract. However, at the time of signing, the Romagna club did not guarantee the requests of the player's entourage, which immediately blocked the deal.

Reggiana, which had asked for a modest fee for the transfer, now has to review its strategy. Coach Tesser will have to find a place for Maggio in his team, despite his preference for the 4-3-1-2 formation.

What are the consequences?

Reggiana, currently 18th in Serie B with 37 points, could benefit from Maggio's presence. The player, who scored 6 goals and provided 9 assists in 35 appearances for Crotone last season, could be a key element for the Emilian team.

The team, which recently won against Sampdoria with a score of 1-0 on May 8, 2026, could find a new balance with Maggio on the field. Coach Tesser will have to find the right formation to take advantage of the player's skills.

What comes next?

Reggiana will now have to reflect on its market strategy and find a place for Maggio in its team. The player, who has already proven his value with Crotone, could be an important element for the Emilian team in the next season. With 36 goals scored and 56 conceded in the current season, Reggiana will have to work to improve its defense and take advantage of Maggio's skills. The team is on a 2-game winning run, with a recent form of 2W-1D-2L, and is 45 points behind leaders Venezia.
