Palermo has made an attempt to sign 28-year-old Italian right-back Fabio Depaoli from Sampdoria. According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, the club inquired about the flank player's availability. However, the operation is considered complex. Depaoli, who is currently Sampdoria's captain, is reportedly not convinced about leaving the team during a difficult period in their season. He has a sense of responsibility because of his role in the dressing room and prefers to stay to help the team recover. While Palermo continues to monitor the situation, the transfer is unlikely to proceed without an indication from the player. At present, the move is considered more of an idea than a concrete negotiation. Depaoli joined Sampdoria in July 2019 and is under contract until June 2028. In the current Serie B season, he has made 18 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists. He has 5 caps and 1 goal for the Italy U21 team, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €900k.
