Brunori at Sampdoria, and Palermo dreams of Tramoni

It could be his last dance, his last performance in front of the people who have praised and acclaimed him for years. The conditional is a must because it is not certain that Palermo coach Filippo Inzaghi will give him a few minutes. The only certain fact is that Matteo Brunori will set sail for another destination in January, heading to Genoa, on the Sampdoria side. In any case, their fans will say hello to Padova this afternoon, because the path is clear. The Rosanero captain of a thousand battles has concluded his cycle, as can be seen from the playing time he has been given this season (508 minutes) with only six games played since the start (just one goal scored) and his refusal to accept the role of deputy Pohjanpalo, the one to which he was relegated by the Piacenza coach after a start in which he seemed to want to focus on a pair who would have more than thirty goals in the championship. The last games with zero attendance put the final bubble on the farewell.

Brunori will leave after having given so much to Palermo in an exchange that was mutual because it was in Sicily that the Italian-Brazilian exploded in professional football as he had never managed, to the point of rightfully entering the history of the Sicilian club as the best scorer ever: with 76 goals behind only Fabrizio Miccoli (81) and as captain after an incredible promotion to Serie B in which he led the team with goals, 25 plus others 5 made in the playoffs. Five years full of emotions and ambitions like that Serie A which seems to have rejected him, both with the rosanero and in an absolute sense. His desire to try great football also gave him some problems with the environment which eventually forgave him, especially after the conflicting relationship with coach Alessio Dionisi who last season relegated her to the bench for an entire group, only to then rehabilitate him when the situation was degenerating. A script that has been repeated again this year and in which the only solution seems to be divorce, even if there is no team fighting for promotion on the horizon. So if you have to play for other objectives, the Sampdoria coat of arms is better than uncertain adventures. Matteo Brunori will arrive in Genoa with the onerous loan formula: it is the first piece of a winter market destined to revolutionize Sampdoria, which is looking for additions in all departments.

Palermo will be asked to replace Brunori with a big name. If Tramoni is the dream for which all the pieces with Pisa, not just the economic ones, would need to fit together perfectly, Pierini (Sassuolo) seems to be a more affordable destination. However, the Moreo option does not appear to be completely discarded. The Sicilian club will also think about the defensive department, waiting for signs of Magnani’s return from his loan to Reggiana. If it doesn’t happen, the concrete idea seems to be Barba easily freeing himself from his contract in Indonesia.
