Hernani, a Brazilian midfielder currently playing for Parma, has attracted interest from Palermo. According to his agent, Gilvan Costa, there was initial contact between Palermo and Parma about a week after Inzaghi's signing, but Parma's response was negative at that time. Hernani admires Inzaghi, having worked with him at Reggina, and would like to work with him again. There is no current talk of contract renewal with Parma, as they are awaiting the new coach's assessment. A meeting with Parma's management is planned for next week to discuss Hernani's future.

Hernani is being followed by Palermo, coached by Inzaghi, who previously managed him at Reggina. His transfer is uncertain. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 1.60 million euros.
