The well-known newspaper’s point on the incoming and outgoing market: Carissoni and Vandeputte are also in the crosshairs. The Pigliacelli-Fulignati exchange hypothesis is in goal.
“Dionisi’s Palermo is a very open construction site.” This is the title of today’s edition of “Tuttosport”, which puts the spotlight on the Palermo of the future. Sports director Morgan De Sanctis is working to set up a team that can concretely aim for the jump in category, “trying to accommodate Dionisi’s ‘desires’. There is a good starting point, the new sporting director De Sanctis is moving to develop the coach’s idea of football who must bring Palermo back to Serie A”.
The training camp is two weeks away and by then we will try to have an almost complete staff, even if the management will continue to work in the transfer market until the gong. “Dionisi follows De Sanctis’ work closely and already this week we will know something more about how the coach intends to play next season and also about the line dictated to his sporting director”, he reads. In fact, presentations of both the new coach and the sporting director are scheduled in the next few days.
On the revenue front, the latest name is Fulignati del Catanzaro. In exchange, the Rosanero club would have offered Mirko Pigliacelli more money to the Calabrians. “Put that way it would seem like everything is downhill, but it isn’t. Firstly because Catanzaro would not want to deprive themselves of their goalkeeper (Aquilani, who could coach the Calabrians, would have already asked his president to confirm the no. 1), then because Fulignati wants precise technical guarantees. A return to Palermo would be welcome, but on the condition that we start on an equal footing with Desplanches, a scenario that would not appear easy to achieve.” “Certainly Dionisi is vigilant, the coach has always worked with young players and has also enhanced several of them at Sassuolo, but that of the goalkeeper is a delicate role and it is clear that he too (like Fulignati) asks for guarantees from the club. And the same applies for other key roles for his way of playing. It is a coincidence that Palermo is trying to squeeze in Carissoni (a wild card for the low lanes) and Vandeputte (a high quality winger)”, continues the well-known newspaper. Negotiations that were anything but simple, with Cittadella and Catanzaro reportedly shooting high for their players. Also in the sights of the Viale del Fante club is Edoardo Iannoni, a young and promising midfielder from Perugia who is also liked by Cremonese.
Finally, the Brunori chapter. The Italian-Brazilian striker would have expressed “his stomach ache, asking to be sold to Serie A”. However, Palermo have so far received no concrete offers, as the request (6-7 million) “rightly scares possible buyers. The captain is waiting, Dionisi too. The Palermo construction site is open”.
