Palermo has received Juventus' approval to sign Mattia De Sciglio, with plans to finalize the move at the opening of the winter transfer window on January 2. De Sciglio is regarded as an experienced player who can find space, form, and importance at Palermo. This decision follows a lackluster period at Empoli, where De Sciglio was unable to make a significant impact, participating in only six matches across Serie A and Coppa Italia. His loan at Empoli is expected to be terminated early due to his limited contribution, prompting his return to Juventus before the anticipated transfer to Palermo. The Sicilian club is enthusiastic about integrating De Sciglio into their squad, with hopes that his experience will enhance their performance in Serie B as the team navigates recent challenges.
