There’s no two ways about it: Palermo are up for sale, with a price of around €15m.
That’s how Corriere dello Sport open their article on the matter on Tuesday, reminding everyone, in the process, that Leeds United’s Andrea Radrizzani recently met with their owner, Dario Mirri.
He’s given an auditing firm, Pricewater Coopers, the job to ‘seek interested parties’ who would be interested in the entire share package, but that process ‘has not yet begun’.
That’s ‘about to start’, and the meeting with the Leeds owner were ‘simple informal talks’, as Mirri ‘intends to find a credible subject and not adventurers like those who recently passed through Palermo’.
Perhaps it was just the start of more serious ones to come down the line, but the previous report from Mediagol made it sound like there might have been genuine interest.
Either way, it would be an interesting project for the Leeds man, who has done a very good job at Elland Road in recent years, and as we said in our previous coverage: imagine being the man behind the rejuvenation of not one but two sleeping giants?
