Joel Pohjanpalo, who is both the captain and a symbol of Venezia, is experiencing significant pressure from Palermo. With 6 goals in the league, the Finnish striker has become an essential player for Venezia, but it appears that Palermo is determined to bring him to Sicily at any cost. The offer reportedly includes a four-year contract with significantly higher figures than his current deal, and Palermo is also willing to pay the full release clause of 6 million euros. Despite Palermo's strong interest, the transfer has several hurdles: beyond the financial commitment, they need to persuade Pohjanpalo, who has shown a deep attachment to Venezia and its fans, highlighted by his symbolic gesture after scoring against Parma. The decision now lies with the player, who must choose whether to accept Palermo's proposal or continue as the undisputed leader of the Venezia team. This was reported by La Nuova di Venezia e Mestre.

Palermo's new sporting director, Carlo Osti, is contemplating Joel Pohjanpalo as a significant addition to strengthen the team's attack. Pohjanpalo, a Finnish forward who currently plays for Venezia, has demonstrated his reliability as a scorer in Serie B. His consistent goal-scoring ability and experience make him an appealing choice for Palermo, which is targeting direct promotion to Serie A. The club has already considered other options, such as Borrelli and Lapadula, but regards Pohjanpalo as a top-tier acquisition. The player's willingness and Venezia's openness to negotiations will be crucial in the upcoming week to decide if the transfer can be completed. With the ambition of returning to Serie A, Carlo Osti is diligently working to build a competitive team, and Pohjanpalo's international reputation and goal-scoring capabilities could be the perfect addition to boost Palermo's attacking lineup and inspire the fans' aspirations for success.
