The year 2023 of Palermo does not start in the best way. Injury for Leo Stulac and season over for the Slovenian midfielder, who arrived in August from Empoli. An important purchase for the category, but first the non-impeccable physical form, and now the injury, limit the former Venezia in his adventure in the rosanero jersey. Protagonist against Cagliari, the player said goodbye to the year 2022 assisting his teammates from outside in the match against Brescia but today the news of his injury dampened the enthusiasm created around him. Palermo which, therefore, will have to intervene on the market. Sifting through the names in Serie A, you can see some interesting names, useful for the Palermo cause.
Andrew Barberis
Passed by the Palermo youth sector way back in 2011-2012, he moved on to Pisa in Serie C. Just one season and he was immediately Serie B with the Varese shirt. The performance in the red shirt earned him another call in red colors, but with blue inserts: Crotone. Absolute protagonist with Crotone between Serie A and Serie B, he collects 167 games in 5 years with 7 goals and 18 assists. After Crotone, the move to Monza, with which he obtained his second promotion to Serie A. To date, still in Galliani and Berlusconi’s club, he struggles to establish himself, slipping more and more onto the bench.
Matthew Scozzarella
Experience to spare for the midfielder at Monza. Even for him, as for Barberis, the place is less and less. Closed by Pessina and Sensi, the former Parma player could soon leave the Brianza formation to return to Serie B at the age of 34. Palermo, which without Stulac, could entrust the keys to the midfield to an absolute certainty of Serie B with more than 200 active games in this category. Also for him two promotions in Serie A with Monza and Parma.
Liam Henderson
Andrea Barberis and Matteo Scozzarella are two pure directors; Liam Henderson doesn’t. Raised in Scotland in Celtic Glasgow, he moved to Hibernian and Rosemborg before arriving in Italy with the Bari shirt. After Puglia, he left for Verona with the Hellas shirt with which he conquered the top flight. After leaving Verona in Serie A, he moved to Empoli and then to Lecce. With the Giallorossi he conquers the top flight and returns to Tuscany again with which he still plays in Serie A today. His arrival could bring Claudio Gomes as a low point and the Scotsman, together with Segre, as midfield interiors for a high-level midfielder . The place at Empoli, however, is less and less. Desire for revenge, therefore, for the Scotsman. Palermo could be the right place to shine again.
Valerio Verre
After Barberis, another welcome return to Palermo is Valerio Verre. Non-optimal start to the season with the Sampdoria shirt, he is managing to carve out a space for himself with the arrival of Stankovic. The Dorian transfer market, however, could bring in a new pawn in that role and in that case it could be Valerio Verre who will pay the price. Back to Palermo?
