DEFENDER - NO TEAM
Released from his contract Cetin and Verona concurred to an early contract termination, the team announced.
Back in Verona Cetin returned to Verona as Ankaragucu didn't pick up their clause to sign him permanently.
Impact Cetin featured 23 times across all competitions last season but wasn't convincing enough for his team to keep him. He'll be evaluated by new Verona coach Paolo Zanetti during the summer, but another departure is likely.

Unused versus Salernitana Cetin (ankle) didn't feature in Friday's 2-1 win against Salernitana.
Impact Cetin resumed being available after sitting out multiple matches, but he'll have his work cut out for him to be a regular considering the high-profile moves made by Lecce in the back late in the window.

Included in squad Friday Cetin (ankle) was named to the match-day squad versus Salernitana on Friday, per SkySports.
Impact Cetin is back in the squad for the first time since the season opener versus Inter Milan when he was forced off in the 21st minute. Given his extended layoff, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the defender being eased back into action with an appearance off the bench.

Ruled out for Sassuolo match Cetin will sit out Saturday's game versus Sassuolo due to an ankle sprain, Lecce informed.
Impact Cetin has been able to practice in limited capacity in the last few days so, while he will miss this one, the injury shouldn't be too severe. Two among Alessandro Tuia, Alexis Blin and Federico Baschirotto will play as center-backs Saturday considering that Kastriot Dermaku remains on the shelf with a thigh problem.

Starting against Inter Cetin (ankle) is in Lecce's starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Inter Milan.
Impact Cetin carried an injury designation into Saturday's game after picking up an ankle sprain, but he is fit enough to get the start in central defense.

Questionable for Inter game Cetin has been called up but he's in doubt for Saturday's match versus Inter due to an ankle sprain, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.
Impact Cetin is the only pure center-back currently available given the injuries to Alessandro Tuia and Kastriot Dermaku, but he will have to pass a late fitness test to get the nod, otherwise Alexis Blin and Valentin Gendrey will likely adapt to the role, opening up a spot for Federico Baschirotto and a midfielder.

Moves to Lecce Cetin has joined Lecce on a season-long loan with option to buy from Verona, the teams announced.
Impact Cetin failed to impress after transferring from Roma a couple of years ago and spent the second half of last season at Kayserispor. Despite that, he could have a primary role right away since Lecce have a few injury concerns in the back. He has logged 14 tackles, 18 interceptions, 23 clearances and nine blocks in 14 appearances (six starts) in Serie A so far.
