Whilst the Bianconeri are considering bringing him back to act as understudy, they reportedly would prefer seeing the 20-year-old spend at least another year as a starter elsewhere, perhaps in Serie A too.
Should that prove the case, then the club are looking at journeyman Pelizzoli to come in.
The 32-year-old former Atalanta, Roma and Reggina ‘keeper last year was back-up to Mattia Perin at relegated Pescara.
