Palermo To Replace Barzagli With Canini
The Rosaneri are seeking to replace the departing Andrea Barzagli with Cagliari’s Canini…
Cagliari defender Michele Canini is bound for Palermo, and reports suggest that a 4-year contract is ready for the 21-year old.
However, Canini will join Palermo only after Andrea Barzagli moves to a different club.
Of late, Juventus and Fiorentina have been chasing Barzagli and, in case Chivu’s transfer to Inter falls through, the nerazzurri will also join the competition to net the 26-year old.
If Barzagli were to refute offers from other clubs and continue his stint at Palermo, Fiorentina would make for Canini instead, as Viola sporting director Corvino has often praised the young Cagliari defender.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria are pushing to get Benfica’s Fabrizio Miccoli.
Following Quagliarella’s departure, the Blucerchiati (blue-ringed) are seeking a forceful striker who could match up to Quagliarella, and newly appointed coach Mazzarri has hinted towards Miccoli as the primary target.
