Frosinone Calcio has completed today a loan deal with Bologna to bring Antonio Raimondo back into attack, aiming to strengthen the forward line in the title chase. The 22‑year‑old striker will once again wear the yellow‑red shirt for the 2026‑27 season, ready to help the side sitting second in Serie B with 81 points and a recent form of WWWWD.
How did the transfer happen?
On July 7, 2026, officials from Frosinone and Bologna signed a new loan agreement for Antonio Raimondo, who had already spent a season on loan at the Lazio club. The contract runs for one year with an option to buy at season’s end. No fee was disclosed, but Bologna included a buy‑back clause. Raimondo, who netted eight goals last campaign, arrives motivated to improve the 76 goals Frosinone have scored so far.
Why is Raimondo’s return important for the yellow‑reds?
Frosinone is battling for the title, just one point behind leaders Venezia, and has conceded 34 goals, leaving a +42 goal difference. The attack needs more options to keep pressure on rivals. Raimondo, known for his pace and finishing, can provide the tactical variety head coach Francesco Di Gennaro seeks. His familiarity with the squad and system will shorten the adaptation period, a clear advantage in such a tight season.
What are the expectations for the next match?
Frosinone’s next fixture is against Cittadella on August 15, a crucial test to cement the second‑place spot. Raimondo is expected to start, partnering top scorer Francesco Caputo. If he scores, it could give the team the boost needed to maintain the one‑point gap over the leaders. Fans are eager for the newcomer’s debut, hoping for an immediate impact.
What does the future hold for Raimondo and Frosinone?
Should Raimondo replicate his form, Frosinone will have an extra weapon in the title race. A permanent transfer will depend on results and the board’s assessment. Meanwhile, the club continues to rely on young talent to stay competitive in Serie B, where a single point can decide the championship. With the team currently second, 81 points, 23 wins, 12 draws and 3 losses, the outlook looks promising for the yellow‑reds.
