Salernitana Home Jersey 2023/24 – Lorenzo Pirola – No. 98 – Player Issued – Zeus – Serie A TIM

Lorenzo Pirola's Player-Issued Jersey: A Granata Relic from the 2023/24 Serie A Season

The first official US Salernitana 1919 jersey for the 2023/2024 season in its Player-Issued version is an authentic and significant piece of contemporary Italian football. Made by Zeus, the technical sponsor of the Campania club, it features the distinctive granata design with white flame patterns on the collar and cuffs, inspired by the club's tradition and visual identity. On the chest, the DianFlex logos – main sponsor on the sleeve – and Vincitu News as the second sponsor stand out, while the eCampus University logo is prominently displayed on the back. The "Macte Animo 1919" inscription printed inside the collar recalls the club's motto and founding year. The official Serie A TIM 2023-2024 patch on the left sleeve certifies Italy's top league and dates the jersey with absolute precision. The back is personalized with the name PIROLA and the number 98, the official number assigned to the central defender by Salernitana for both his seasons with the granata. A professional supply item, with technical details reserved exclusively for the first team squad.

The Player: Lorenzo Pirola

Lorenzo Pirola (Carate Brianza, February 20, 2002) is an Italian central defender who grew up in Inter's youth sector, a club with which he made his Serie A debut at just 18 years old in July 2020. Left-footed, physically imposing, with excellent aerial abilities and an uncommon personality for his young age, he has often been compared to Giorgio Chiellini in terms of characteristics. In the 2023/2024 season, bought by Salernitana for 5 million euros after a brilliant loan spell the previous year, he established himself as an indispensable starter in the Campania defensive line, making 27 Serie A appearances. In that same season, he was appointed captain of the Italian Under-21 national team, a recognition of his leadership and technical level. With Salernitana, he totaled 56 appearances and 3 goals in two Serie A seasons, before moving to Olympiakos in the summer of 2024. His number 98 jersey is an authentic relic of a rapidly ascending career, already projected to the highest levels of European football.

What is a Player-Issued Jersey?

A Player-Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a certain player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the retail version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, personalization with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to a Match Worn jersey. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market a long time after its production.
