Palermo is interested in signing Brazilian midfielder Hernani, who previously helped Monza achieve promotion to Serie A. The player is a reinforcement requested by Palermo's coach, Filippo Inzaghi, who managed the 32-year-old during his time at Reggina. Modena has also shown interest in the player. However, Hernani's departure from Monza is not certain, as he remains under contract until June 30, 2027. The midfielder is valued at €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt. He joined Monza in January 2026 and has 14 caps for Brazil's U17 team. In the 2025/2026 season, he made 18 appearances in Serie B, scoring 5 goals and providing one assist, in addition to 4 appearances in Serie A. While Monza does not consider him to be unsellable, any potential transfer would require negotiations.
