Palermo is seeking to reduce its squad of players who are not in its plans. Salim Diakité, a 26-year-old who holds both Malian and French citizenship, could move abroad. The wide player, who can also play as a central defender in a three-person defense, returned from a loan at Juve Stabia in the last six months of the previous season and is the subject of talks with Zulte Waregem in Belgium. Palermo is in contact with the Belgian club over a potential loan with an option to buy. The negotiations are progressing, and further developments could occur in the coming days. Diakité, who has been capped eight times by Mali, joined Palermo in January 2024 and has a contract with the club until 2028; his current market value is €1.50m.
