Palermo confirm Saudi Prince talks

Palermo are in negotiations for a sale to Prince Sami Al Hokair and have signed another Maribor starlet, says President Maurizio Zamparini.

“Sami Al Hokair told me he is very interested in this deal,” explained Zamparini of the Saudi family.

“In January, when I visit the Prince and his son, we will get into the details of the matter.

“If they do decide to buy up the majority shares in the club, then I will have the opportunity to rest and just enjoy the team.”

Other decisions have already been made for next month, as after Josip Ilicic and Armin Bacinovic, Palermo have captured another Maribor starlet.

“Sinisa Andjelkovic is our player. We will also sign another foreign midfielder, but I cannot reveal the name yet.”

Udinese had also been interested in 24-year-old Slovenian centre-back Andjelkovic.
