Italian Serie B club Spezia Calcio has terminated its contract with Peruvian forward Gianluca Lapadula, halting his anticipated transfer to Universitario de Deportes. The club announced the dissolution of the agreement via social media channels, effectively making Lapadula a free agent. This development throws into question the forward’s expected move to the Peruvian Primera División side, where he was poised to sign. No official reason for the contract termination has been publicly released by either club. Lapadula had reportedly already reached a preliminary agreement with Universitario, and fans were eagerly awaiting his arrival. The unexpected separation from Spezia now leaves his future uncertain, despite strong indications he desired to play for the Peruvian club. This impacts Universitario’s attacking plans for the upcoming season.
