Claim: In June 2008, Chievo bought Andrea De Falco for an undisclosed fee, but he spent four seasons on loan to Pescara, Sassuolo and Bari.
Evidence: De Falco was sold to Pescara (Serie B) in a co-ownership deal on 20 June 2006 for a peppercorn of five hundred euro, joining Antonio Aquilanti. In June 2007, Pescara bought De Falco outright by winning the auction between the club, for another five hundred euros. He returned to Ancona for the 2008/09 season, on loan along with Stefano Olivieri from Chievo. De Falco then spent 3 more seasons on loan, for Ancona again in 2009–10, Sassuolo in 2010–11 and Bari in 2011–12.
