At the moment, Spezia are second in the Serie B table.

After struggling to find their feet back in the second division last season, the Ligurians look potentially ready to push for promotion back to Serie A this time around.

It is still early, but Spezia have certainly been one of Serie B’s form teams.

And at the heart of that early success has been a strong defensive record.

Spezia have conceded seven goals in the first eight matches of the season. That is the joint fewest in Serie B at this stage of the campaign, along with Palermo.

And a key figure in this strong defensive record has been young defender Bertola. He has been a regular on the left of the back three under coach Luca D’Angelo.

Bertola is currently under contract with Spezia until the end of next June.

The young defender signed his most recent extension with the Ligurian club in 2022.

The Gazzetta report that Spezia have made securing a contract extension for Bertola a priority. They will try and ramp up the talks in the coming days with a meeting with the 21-year-old’s agent.

However, if Bertola decides to reject the offer of a new deal, he would make an enticing free transfer opportunity at the end of this season.

According to the Gazzetta, Inter have already inquired with the 21-year-old’s representatives.

That is hardly a surprise considering the Nerazzurri’s propensity to sniff out free transfer opportunities. And then, there is the fact that Inter owners Oaktree Capital want to build around young players.

But it is not just Inter who are considering a move for Bertola.

AC Milan and Juventus are also very keen, reports the Gazzetta.
