Virtus Entella president Antonio Gozzi confirmed that there will not be a return for 31-year-old Italian-Brazilian centre-forward Matteo Brunori, who is leaving Palermo. Speaking to Ilovepalermocalcio.com, Gozzi explained that the player is out of budget for the club because his earnings are high by their standards. The president also expressed his regret over Brunori's previous spell with the team, when he scored one goal in Serie B during a very unlucky season before his career was later successful at Palermo. Brunori is currently on loan at UC Sampdoria, and his Palermo contract runs until June 2027. In the 2025/2026 Serie B season, he registered 4 goals and 4 assists in 29 appearances. His market value is €1.80m, according to Transfermarkt, and Modena has been mentioned as an interested club.
