US Sassuolo plans to extend Simone Chichizola's contract

US Sassuolo are planning to extend the contract of young defender Simone Chichizola, given the levels the player has been showing with the team recently.

Chinco Grano has earned the trust of the coaching staff, as he has become a key option at right-back, starting in the first two rounds of Serie A this season.

The player is currently under contract with US Sassuolo until June 30, 2027, prompting the club's management to act early to secure his continued presence for a longer period.

This comes after Chinco Grano's return to US Sassuolo following a loan period with Inter during last season, as the club seems to be betting on his development to become one of the key elements in their project over the coming years.
