Palermo's attempts at signing striker Alberto Gilardino from Guangzhou Evergrande could be thwarted by an Olympiacos swoop.
The former Azzurri striker is owned by the Chinese club but has already proven himself a Serie A option, spending half of last season on loan at Fiorentina.
The Rosanero are currently the team closest to the player, with President Maurizio Zamparini stating a few days ago that the deal was imminent.
