A.S. Giana Erminio has officially announced a significant move to reinforce their defensive line ahead of the upcoming seasons. The club has successfully acquired the services of young central defender Tommaso Duca on a temporary basis, joining from U.S. Cremonese.
The loan agreement is set to provide Giana Erminio with defensive depth for a considerable period, with the deal running until June 30, 2026. This extended loan term suggests a clear plan for Duca`s development and integration into the squad.
Tommaso Duca, born in 2005, is a product of Cremonese`s youth academy, where he has honed his skills since joining their Under 16 setup. His early footballing foundations were laid at Accademia Inter and Sedriano before his move to Cremonese, demonstrating a solid youth background.
Duca has recently distinguished himself as a pivotal figure in Cremonese`s Primavera (Under 19) squad. He was instrumental in their triumphant 2023/24 campaign, which saw them clinch the Primavera 1 championship title. Alongside teammates like David Stückler, Duca formed a key part of the defensive unit that propelled Cremonese to youth league success.
His importance to the championship-winning team is further highlighted by his consistent presence on the field. The source notes he accumulated 29 appearances during what is specified as the “2024/25 Primavera 1 season”—an intriguing detail for a championship won in 2023/24, but one that nonetheless clearly indicates his role as a regular starter and a reliable asset throughout their title charge.
This loan move offers the promising young defender an opportunity to gain valuable senior-level experience. For Giana Erminio, securing a player with Duca`s recent success and potential on a long-term loan represents a strategic acquisition aimed at strengthening the team with a talented prospect from a reputable academy system.
