Defrel headed for Palermo

Cesena's Gregoire Defrel is headed for Palermo, as confirmed by his agent: 'We're about to have another meeting'.

The Frenchman is set to stay in Serie A by joining the Rosanero, while his club sinks down into Serie B.

Some reports suggested that agent Giampiero Pocetta's demands were considered too high by Palermo, who were backing away from the deal, but Pocetta himself denied these rumours.

“Those who write these things are making it all up,” he told the Corriere di Romagna.

“Those who write these things are making it all up,” he told the Corriere di Romagna.

“In our first, cordial meeting with President Maurizio Zamparini and sporting director Manuel Gerolin, I've only been shown what the technical project involving Defrel would be like.

“We haven't discussed any other matters. Soon, in any case, we'll have another meeting.”
