Palermo's management has started to evaluate potential new signings following a shoulder injury sustained by their goalkeeper Jesse Joronen in a Coppa Italia match against Lecce. According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, the Sicilian club has identified Alessandro Confente, an Italian goalkeeper from Juve Stabia born in 1998, as a profile of immediate interest. Semuel Pizzignacco of Monza is also reportedly a target but is considered a less immediate option at present. Confente, who has two caps for Italy U19, is under contract until 30/06/2027 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €700k. He has also been linked with Pisa and Torino. In August 2026, reports suggested a potential transfer fee for a move to Pisa could be set between €800,000 and €900,000.
