PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri HT 0-0: Juve wasteful in Sicily http://www.football-italia.net/76452/ht-juve-wasteful-sicily Nov 29, 2015 Leonardo Bonucci wasted a golden opportunity, as Juventus are pegged back by Palermo at half-time. The Bianconeri were looking for a fourth consecutive Serie A victory and buoyed by the midweek Champions League win over Manchester City. Mario Mandzukic again pushed Alvaro Morata to the bench and Paulo Dybala made his first visit back to the Stadio Barbera. Sami Khedira, Hernanes, Roberto Pereyra, Mario Lemina and Martin Caceres missed out. Juve were unbeaten at the Barbera since a 2-1 result in February 2011, but the last stalemate in this fixture was all the way back in 1969. More importantly, Palermo had lost the last six meetings with Juventus, home and away, failing to score a single goal. Mandzukic just failed to get on the end of a Stefano Sturaro cross at the back post and Giorgio Chiellini headed wide from a corner. Paul Pogba was booked and will be suspended against Lazio next week. Alberto Gilardino had the first genuine Rosanero chance after 28 minutes, flashing his finish across the face of goal from a tight angle. Leonardo Bonucci was allowed a completely free header from six yards on a corner, but incredibly steered it wide of the target. Dybala also nodded wide from an impressive Sturaro cross and Juan Cuadrado hit the side-netting, then Gaston Brugman blocked Sturaro’s effort from point-blank range on a corner. Palermo 0-0 Juventus (Half-Time) Palermo: Sorrentino; Struna, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar; Hiljemark, Jajalo, Chochev; Brugman; Vazquez, Gilardino Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Mandzukic, Dybala Ref: Valeri http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

Ennesimo 0-0 alla fine del primo tempo. Aspettiamo il secondo per segnare.

Dybala puoi fare di meglio. Dai!

Migliore in campo finora .... Goldaniga.

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Marotta: 'Allegri was right...' http://www.football-italia.net/76449/marotta-allegri-was-right? Nov 29, 2015 Beppe Marotta feels Max Allegri has earned the benefit of the doubt with his choices for Palermo-Juventus. “The squad is made up of many excellent players, then it’s up to the Coach to evaluate their current form,” director Marotta told Mediaset Premium. “In the Champions League game against Manchester City there was fierce debate in the media over his decisions, but in the end he was proved to be right.” Mario Mandzukic scored the winner midweek in the Champions League and is again preferred to Alvaro Morata this evening. Paulo Dybala returns to face his former club, though Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini said Juve were “ruining” his talent. “Zamparini is the kind of character you find in folklore, he’s an explosive figure. The best response to that is silence, albeit with respect for him as a friend.” Has Marotta already asked Zamparini about signing Franco Vazquez for Juventus? “We have an excellent rapport with Zamparini. We talk about transfers, as we do with other directors, but we are concentrated on the present and there’ll be time to evaluate the rest.” Roma and Lazio lost today, while Inter and Napoli face each other tomorrow night. Can Juve really close on the top spots? “There are still many sides ahead of us. The objective we set ourselves for this first part of the season was to win the Italian Super Cup and qualify for the Champions League knockouts. We achieved both those targets. “Now we have to find the right balance and focus on ourselves rather than what the other teams are doing.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

Palermo: Sorrentino; Struna, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar; Hiljemark, Jajalo, Chochev; Brugman; Vazquez, Gilardino Palermo bench: Colombi, Alastra, El Kaoutari, Rispoli, Daprelà, Andelkovic, Maresca, Quaison, Trajkovski Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Mandzukic, Dybala Juventus bench: Neto, Rubinho, Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Padoin, Vitale, Zaza, Morata

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Line-ups: Palermo-Juventus http://www.football-italia.net/76445/line-ups-palermo-juventus? Nov 29, 2015 Paulo Dybala returns to face his former club with Alvaro Morata dropped again as Juventus visit Palermo. It kicks off at the Stadio Barbera at 20.45 CET - 19.45 GMT. This is an emotional moment for Dybala, who first joined Palermo as a teenager and was groomed to become a €32m signing. He will face off for the first time against his former strike partner Franco Vazquez, who has been linked with a potential reunion in Turin next season. Max Allegri caused controversy when dropping Morata for Mario Mandzukic against Manchester City midweek, but it worked as the Croatian scored the winning Champions League goal. He once again leaves Morata on the bench in favour of Mandzukic in a 3-5-2 system with Juan Cuadrado and Patrice Evra stepping in for Stephan Lichtsteiner and Alex Sandro. Sami Khedira, Hernanes, Roberto Pereyra, Mario Lemina, Martin Caceres and Kwadwo Asamoah are all unavailable. Paul Pogba has to be careful, as he is one yellow card away from a ban and Juve face Lazio next week. Palermo picked up a 1-1 draw away to Lazio on Coach Davide Ballardini’s debut and hope to continue building under his guidance. Roberto Vitiello, Michel Morganella, Francesco Bolzoni and Uros Djurdjevic are on the treatment table. The biggest change since Beppe Iachini’s dismissal is the introduction of Gaston Brugman as a trequartista behind Vazquez and Alberto Gilardino. Defender Edoardo Goldaniga scored on his full Serie A debut last week and was sold to Palermo as part of the Dybala deal. Juve are unbeaten at the Barbera since a 2-1 result in February 2011, but the last stalemate in this fixture was all the way back in 1969. The Bianconeri had struggled in Serie A, but are here seeking a fourth consecutive victory. Palermo: Sorrentino; Struna, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar; Hiljemark, Jajalo, Chochev; Brugman; Vazquez, Gilardino Palermo bench: Colombi, Alastra, El Kaoutari, Rispoli, Daprelà, Andelkovic, Maresca, Quaison, Trajkovski Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Mandzukic, Dybala Juventus bench: Neto, Rubinho, Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Padoin, Vitale, Zaza, Morata http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Juan Cuadrado returns to Juventus lineup http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/palermo/team-news/team-news-juan-cuadrado-returns-to-juventus-lineup_259925.html? Nov 29, 2015 Juan Cuadrado has returned to the Juventus side for the meeting with Palermo in Serie A. The winger was forced to settle for a place on the bench against Manchester City in midweek, but he earns as recall as Massimiliano Allegri elects to leave out Alex Sandro and Stephan Lichtsteiner. Patrice Evra is also back in action for the visitors, while Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic continue their partnership in attack. Palermo boss Davide Ballardini hands another start to Gaston Brugman in a supporting role to strikers Franco Vazquez and Alberto Gilardino. Edoardo Goldaniga retains his spot in the team after scoring on his full league debut last weekend. Palermo: Sorrentino, Struna, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar, Hiljemark, Mato Jajalo, Chochev, Brugman, Franco Vazquez, Gilardino Subs: Colombi, Alastra, El Kaoutari, Rispoli, Daprelà, Andelkovic, Maresca, Quaison, Trajkovski Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Mandzukic, Dybala Subs: Neto, Rubinho, Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Padoin, Vitale, Zaza, Morata http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

Perin: 'Trailing Buffon is a triumph' http://www.football-italia.net/76358/perin-trailing-buffon-triumph Nov 29, 2015 Genoa's Mattia Perin won a prize as second best goalkeeper, and claims: 'Being second after Gianluigi Buffon is like being first'. The Italian association of goalkeeper trainers, also known as 'Apport', recently produced a list of the top goalkeepers in Serie A. The first place went to the evergreen Gianluigi Buffon, playing at Juventus, but Perin made it in second. “Coming behind the absolute greatest is like winning,” said Perin, as reported on Genoa's official site. “I consider this second place a source of great satisfaction. “And it's especially pleasing as the position is awarded by the highest experts in the field.”

Italy and Juve legend Zoff suffering from health difficulties The Turin club revealed the former goalkeeper is 'already on the road to recovery' after a bout of ill-health. http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italian-football/2015/11/28/17805942/zoff-suffering-from-health-issues?ICID=TP_HN_HP_RI_0_2 Nov 28, 2015 World Cup winner Dino Zoff is suffering from health difficulties but is recovering, former club Juventus have revealed. Goalkeeper Zoff captained Italy to World Cup glory in 1982 with a 3-1 victory over Germany in the final at the Santiago Bernabeu, 14 years after helping his country win the 1968 European Championship. Zoff also won Serie A six times, the Coppa Italia twice and the UEFA Cup with Juve as a player. The 73-year-old then went on to coach the Turin club, leading Juve to success in the Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup in 1990. After two spells in charge of Lazio, Zoff took over as Italy coach - guiding them to the final of Euro 2000, only to suffer a 2-1 golden goal defeat to France in extra time. A statement on Juve's official website read: "Juventus Football Club has recently learned that Bianconeri and Azzurri legend Dino Zoff is suffering some health difficulties, but is already on the road to recovery. "European Championship winner in 1968 and world champion in 1982, Dino knows what it means to never give in. "He is a strong man and a legend. We are all right behind him. #ForzaDino."

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Juve season is back on track, claims Allegri The coach believes his side have shaken off their early season malaise, and are again in the reckoning on domestic and European fronts. http://www.goal.com/en/news/723/serie-a/2015/11/28/17799312/juve-season-back-on-track-allegri?ICID=TP_HN_HP_RI_1_2 Nov 29, 2015 Massimiliano Allegri says Juventus are targetting more having achieved their goal in Europe, adding that the Italian champions are back on track following a difficult start to the campaign. Juve won just one of their opening six Serie A matches but have since recovered, with the Italian champions also securing their place in the Champions League knockout stages with the 1-0 Group D victory over Manchester City in midweek. With their progress to the knockout stages already sewn up, Allegri believes his men have displayed good signs of progress ahead of Sunday's trip to Palermo. "At the moment, we come with three straight wins in the league and qualification [to the knockout stages] in the Champions League, which is the second goal of the season," the coach told reporters. "The first goal was the Supercoppa Italiana and the second was to qualify in the Champions League. Then we will be in a very good place if we get first in the group, but we will see this in 15 days. "It is not that in Serie A our motivation is different from the Champions League. We had some difficulties in the league. Now the team, regardless of the championship and the Champions League, you can see is better. "We are playing better games with a different focus and this I think is an important growth for us all." Sami Khedira will miss Sunday's clash as he continues his recovery from a thigh injury that flared up again while on international duty. Like Khedira, fellow midfielder Claudio Marchisio has missed long spells of the season, and Allegri is eager to keep the pair fit in order to maintain Juve's upturn in form. "The difference is that until now we had a few unfortunate injuries, especially in midfield," he continued. "But we have had major players like Marchisio and Khedira return and so they are two players who can give us a certain strength. We've improved physically, in our athletic condition, and we have improved individually at a technical level and as a result the team grows. "Then in the end what counts is results. The results help you to work in a certain way. It is normal that when results are better, self-esteem grows and improving things becomes more easier." http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

Alex Sandro wanted by Manchester City? http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-city/transfer-talk/news/alex-sandro-wanted-by-manchester-city_259903.html Nov 29, 2015 Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Juventus full-back Alex Sandro. The 24-year-old joined the Italian champions from Porto in the summer and has produced a number of impressive displays. He came up against the Citizens in the Champions League earlier this week, and set up the winning goal for Mario Mandzukic in a 1-0 win for the Old Lady. According to the Manchester Evening News, City have made a bid of €40m (£28m) for the Brazilian defender, but Juventus are thought to be unwilling to do business. Sandro had spent four seasons at Porto before completing his move to Juventus in August.

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Dybala calls Vazquez to Juve http://www.football-italia.net/76420/dybala-calls-vazquez-juve? Nov 29, 2015 Paulo Dybala hopes to persuade his old Palermo teammate Franco Vazquez to join him at Juventus. The two face off this evening at the Stadio Barbera. It kicks off at 20.45 CET - 19.45 GMT. Dybala returns to take on his former club just months after a €32m move to Turin. According to Tuttosport newspaper, Dybala will take the opportunity to meet up with his ex-strike partner Vazquez and extol the virtues of joining Juventus. Palermo have already stated Vazquez will be sold next summer and Milan appear to be the current favourites. Juve are still looking for a trequartista – someone who can play behind the strikers – as Hernanes and Roberto Pereyra haven’t delivered in that role. Vazquez would be a more affordable option than Ilkay Gundogan of Borussia Dortmund or Sampdoria’s Roberto Soriano. He also has the advantage of already knowing Dybala well and of playing for Italy. Born in Argentina, Vazquez is half-Italian on his mother’s side. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

Juventus And Italy Legend Dino Zoff Falls Ill To ‘Neurological Problem’ Italian champions Juventus rallied around Dino Zoff on Saturday after the former Bianconeri and Italy goalkeeping legend was hospitalised with a neurological condition that reports say has affected his ability to walk. http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/juventus-and-italy-legend-dino-zoff-falls-ill-to-neurological-problem/? Nov 28, 2015 A report in Il Messaggero newspaper said Zoff, who won six Serie A titles with Juventus before coaching the club to the 1990 UEFA Cup, was “struck by an unspecified neurological problem which has left him with difficulty walking”. It added that after initial fears over his condition, the 73-year Zoff was “showing signs of improvement”. Zoff was considered among the best goalkeepers of his generation and, as captain of Italy, led the Azzurri to the World Cup in 1982 — becoming the oldest winner of the trophy at 40 years, 4 months and 13 days. Juventus wished the goalkeeping legend a speedy recovery. “Juventus has just learned that Dino Zoff, captain and legend of the Bianconeri and Italy teams, is suffering from health issues but that he is already improving,” said a statement. Zoff played the bulk of his club career at Juventus from 1972-1983, where he won six Serie A titles, two Italian Cups, a UEFA Cup and reached two European Cup finals in 1973 and 1983, in the process becoming the oldest player, at 41 years and 86 days, to play in a European Cup final. The statement added: “Dino is someone who is used to never giving up.” After his playing career, Zoff spent two years as coach of Juventus, leading the Turin giants to an Italian Cup-UEFA Cup double in 1990. Despite moving on to Lazio, he notably found success as coach of Italy from 1998, when he introduced many up and coming young players including Francesco Totti, Vincenzo Montella, Gianluca Zambrotta and Christian Abbiati to the national side. Having qualified Italy for Euro 2000, Zoff’s team were only ousted in the final when David Trezeguet, who had just signed for Juventus, hit a golden goal in extra-time to hand then world champions France the title. Despite Italy’s achievement, Zoff resigned days after the final following a barrage of criticism from AC Milan owner and president Silvio Berlusconi.

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Juventus squad for Palermo http://www.football-italia.net/76390/juventus-squad-palermo? Nov 28, 2015 Juventus are still without Sami Khedira, Roberto Pereyra, Hernanes, Martin Caceres and more for Palermo. It kicks off on Sunday at 20.45 CET - 19.45 GMT. The Bianconeri are looking for a fourth consecutive Serie A victory and to follow on from their midweek Champions League win over Manchester City. The injury list remains extensive, missing Khedira, Pereyra, Hernanes, Caceres and Kwadwo Asamoah. However, midfielder Simone Padoin returns to the squad. Juventus squad for Palermo: Buffon, Chiellini, Zaza, Marchisio, Pogba, Alex Sandro, Barzagli, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Bonucci, Padoin, Dybala, Rugani, Neto, Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Evra, Rubinho, Vitale http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Ballardini 'studying Dybala' http://www.football-italia.net/76387/ballardini-studying-dybala? Nov 28, 2015 Davide Ballardini said Palermo “are studying counter-measures to stop Paulo Dybala” as he returns to Sicily with Juventus. It kicks off on Sunday at 20.45 CET - 19.45 GMT. “How do you stop the Bianconeri? I wish I knew…” smiled the Coach in his Press conference. “It is never easy to limit teams like Juve when they find form. We must primarily focus on playing our own football, as we have strong players and I believe in them. I see them every day and know they want to prove themselves. “I also have extra motivation, as I’ve never beaten Juventus on my home turf. The Stadio Barbera crowd will be an added weapon in our armoury.” Above all this fixture sees the return of Dybala to Palermo, though his old Coach Beppe Iachini was replaced by Ballardini earlier this month. “It is a shame I never got to work with such a strong player. Today he’s at Juve and we are studying counter-measures to stop him.” Roberto Vitiello, Michel Morganella, Francesco Bolzoni and Uros Djurdjevic are the only absentees. Palermo squad for Juventus: Alastra, Colombi, Sorrentino; Andelkovic, Daprelà, El Kaoutari, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar, Rispoli, Struna; Brugman, Chochev, Hiljemark, Jajalo, Maresca, Quaison, Rigoni; Gilardino, Trajkovski, Vazquez http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Zamparini: 'Reason for dismissals' http://www.football-italia.net/76382/zamparini-reason-dismissals? Nov 28, 2015 Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini assures “sackings were always motivated” and he hopes to beat Juventus. It kicks off on Sunday at 20.45 CET - 19.45 GMT. “It’ll be a very difficult game, but with our Coach we have a very positive tradition against the Bianconeri. We hope to maintain that,” Zamparini told Radio Deejay. Davide Ballardini replaced Beppe Iachini earlier this month and on his debut earned a 1-1 draw away to Lazio, although the decision was greeted with dismay by media, fans and several players. “I have never fired people without reason, the sackings were always motivated. A President has to make decisions, whether they are right or not. “After I sent them away, I brought back a few Coaches, because I realised I got it wrong. Football is about passion, not a business the way De Laurentiis thinks. “Perhaps I am a little too demanding, but my reasoning is always sound. I like to discuss football with my Coach and the team. “A President mustn’t be someone who just provides the money. I know about football and I try to give some suggestions.” This will see the return to the Stadio Barbera of Paulo Dybala, who was sold to Juventus over the summer. “Dybala is world class. He is still very young, but a champion in the mould of Javier Pastore and Edinson Cavani. He will become a very important player indeed. “Franco Vazquez is an excellent player and now has the responsibility of being the reference point for our team.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

PALERMO - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 14 Sunday, November 29th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Renzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo Referee: Paolo Valeri Palermo vs. Juventus: Team News, Predicted Lineups http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2593705-palermo-vs-juventus-team-news-predicted-lineups-live-stream-tv-info? Nov 28, 2015 Finally on a sustained run of positive results, Juventus travel to Sicily on Sunday evening, set to face off against a Palermo side who currently occupy 15th place in the Serie A table. They are just four points off the relegation zone, but their Stadio Renzo Barbera home is never an easy place to play. Indeed, having held Lazio to a 1-1 draw on their last outing, the home side will be looking to continue their own stuttering form. Poor performances in the first few months led to Beppe Iachini’s dismissal earlier in November, with Davide Ballardini returning to the club he also coached back in 2009. He told TuttoSport (h/t Football Italia) that “Juventus have everything to compete for the Scudetto and the Champions League,” but he will hope to prevent the Bianconeri winning this fixture for the fifth year in a row. Juve’s Stephan Lichtsteiner is under no illusion as to what awaits the visitors, but he told Sky Italia that the team hope to continue their recent winning run and climb back into contention for the title. “We’re expecting a tough game at a testing venue but we’ll make sure we produce a strong performance as we have done in recent weeks,” he said per the club’s official website. “As for the title, you should never stop believing so all we can do is pick up as many points as we can between now and Christmas and see where that takes us.” A victory in this clash will be vital in helping them do just that, and with leaders Inter facing a difficult meeting with Napoli, coach Massimiliano Allegri’s men could begin to close the gap. Probable Formations Palermo: (4-3-1-2): Stefano Sorrentino; Aljaz Struna, Edoardo Goldaniga, Giancarlo Gonzalez, Achraf Lazar; Luca Rigoni, Mato Jajalo, Oscar Hiljemark; Gaston Brugman; Franco Vazquez, Alberto Gilardino Unavailable: Uros Durdevic, Roberto Vitello (both injured) Juventus (4-3-3): Gigi Buffon; Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Patrice Evra; Stefano Sturaro, Claudio Marchisio, Paul Pogba; Juan Cuadrado, Alvaro Morata, Paulo Dybala Unavailable: Kwadwo Asamoah, Hernanes, Sami Khedira, Simone Padoin and Roberto Pereyra (all injured) Player to Watch Perhaps the one player to keep a close eye on during this encounter will be Paulo Dybala, returning to face his former club for the first time. The Argentinian joined Juventus this past summer, with their official website revealing they paid €32 million to the Sicilian side, with a further €8 million in potential bonuses. That investment has already begun to pay dividends, with Dybala weighing in with seven goals and two assists. That tally includes his well-taken match-winning strike against Milan last weekend, which the man himself admitted to enjoying as he spoke to Mediaset Premium after the final whistle. “It was a victory of the team today and we just did what the Coach asked us to,” he said (h/t Football Italia). “Leaving the field to a standing ovation from the fans was an unforgettable moment.” Dybala added that he knows he “can do much more,” which will be a daunting prospect for the Rosanero as they prepare to take on their former hero on Sunday evening. Key Battle If Dybala will be key for Juventus, their opponents will be relying on his former team-mate Franco Vazquez to deliver the quality at the other end of the field. He has yet to hit the same impressive form as last season, but the 26-year-old has notched one goal and four assists in 2015/16. OptaPaolo ✔ @OptaPaolo 50 - Franco Vázquez has completed the most dribbles in the Serie A 2015-16, at least 12 more than any other player. Escape. Carrying the Palermo attack, he has clearly missed having a player as good as Dybala alongside him, but it seems that he too may not remain in Sicily for too much longer. “In January no, in June 2016 it could happen,” club president Maurizio Zamparini said when asked by Sport Mediaset (h/t Football Italia) about the possibility of selling Vazquez. For now he remains with Palermo, however, and the Bianconeri will need to monitor him closely if they are to leave the Stadio Renzo Barbera with three points.
