Brescia considers merging with other teams to save herself, and the mayor talks with the owners of three Serie C clubs

Brescia club may go bankrupt, and Brescia mayor Castletti is considering merging other teams, so that Brescia still has a professional team.

Brescia Club encountered financial problems. First, he was deducted 4 points in Serie B and was demoted to Serie C. Then he was unable to register with Serie C and could declare bankruptcy, which would lead to the loss of his professional team in the city of Brescia. To avoid this, Brescia Mayor Castelletti is negotiating with three Serie C clubs in the province, hoping to convince at least one of them to move to Brescia City and merge with the former Brescia Club to use the new club name and register for Serie C next season.

The three Italian clubs participating in the negotiations are Ospitaletto, FeralpiSalo, and Lumezzane. The presidents of the three clubs all had about two hours of interviews with Mayor Castletti on Monday night, and the talks were positive. Mayor Castelleti said: "I sat down with the presidents of the three Serie C teams in the province today. Although it has not been finalized and there are still some steps to clarify, I think the three presidents are happy about it. Especially the president of FeralpiSalo club Pasini, who clearly stated that he is willing to evaluate the matter. This is the beginning of a very long journey and will consist of several stages. We hope to continue football in our city."

However, some local fan organizations in Brescia oppose the merger of the club and posted slogans outside the city government saying, "Merging is prohibited!" "Squads of this level cannot be bought."
