Palermo’s sporting director Nicola Salerno spoke to TuttoMercatoWeb on how close the Rosanero came to signing Assane Gnoukouri before the Ivorian joined Udinese instead: “”It was all done. He was to see us in the evening to close the deal, then suddenly he went to Udinese, which at this time is much better than us and had more appeal.”
