Hellas Verona claim they only went for Federico Viviani after the player rejected Palermo. “They called us at 1.15 am.”
The Roma midfielder had been all set to join Palermo when suddenly his medical was cancelled.
Instead, just hours later the Italy Under-21 international was wearing a Verona jersey.
“Palermo might be angry, but they called us at 1.15am. We immediately made the most of the opportunity,” director of sport Riccardo Bigon told La Gazzetta delo Sport.

“The dream of every director of sport is to hand over an entire squad that is ready for the season ahead.
“The transfer market closes at the end of August, but we secured two players in the space of 15 days: Viviani and Souprayen.”
