Andrea Ranocchia, the Italian defender of Hull City, is reportedly looking to make a move out of his current club after their relegation from the Premier League for the next season. Ranocchia has been one of the better players for the Tigers this season, who arrived during last summer in a loan move from Italian giants Internazionale and has been playing a crucial role in Hull City’s backline.
A valiant effort from the centre-back has proved to be futile in saving the season for the Tigers. It is expected that the youngster will move on to play for any other Premier League club in the next season. However, a move back to Italy has been reportedly ruled out by the Italian international in next term.
Since his arrival at Hull City, there has been a strong bond of togetherness and mutual respect growing between the Italian defender and their coach Marco Silva. The defender has been happy during his stay in England much due to the benevolent guidance of the Spaniard, who has always given him a priority as an automatic selection in his playing XI.
Now, with their manager confirming his departure from Hull City in the next season, there are speculations that Ranocchia might also make his way to the next club where Silva joins as a coach. In the current situation, Watford looks to be the most likely destination for both of them, with the defender following his manager as they look to spend another season in the Premier League.
Reportedly, the Hornets have parted ways with their current manager Walter Mazzari, and are looking towards Marco Silva to take charge at Vicarage Road. Watford look to be hopeful of the fact that he will bring a number of new players into the team who will be able to revive their position in the next season from a disappointing finish at number 16 on the Premier League table this term.
Speculations are rife that as soon as his loan stint ends with the Tigers at the end of the current season, the Italian defender will be up for grabs for the Hornets next term. The fact that Silva might be present there as the head coach is also an indication of the things to come in terms of the transfer of Ranocchia from Hull City to Watford.
Ranocchia has been pretty good at the back for the Tigers throughout the season. He has been using his experience of playing at the San Siro for seven long years and will look to bring it forth wherever he joins next.
