Giornale di Sicilia: “Palermo, only Aurelio left on the left: Beruatto’s idea”

Even with much more time to run for cover, five months later Palermo is back to square one: the left flank that made Corini suffer so much to find the square will find itself with the only Aurelio available from June 30, given the return from the corresponding Sala loans ( Sassuolo) and Maschiangelo (Benevento).

The search for a replacement has already begun, but the coach will still try to evaluate the former Pontedera as a potential starter at the training camp: in six months he rose through the ranks, was ready when he was called up, and showed a good attacking attitude. The booty, nine matches and one goal, is generally positive given the jump in category and the initial intent to keep him as the last pick in the left lane. A possible return to the back four would mean the arrival of a clean left back, while with the confirmation of the 3-5-2 formation, another element capable of moving up and down the lane would be needed: Martella is therefore bringing back a fire that was very little used after refurbishment until 2025 .

Teams were looking for him in January after the loss of Azzi and were favored by the player Corini had worked with for six months in Brescia during his promotion year; however, resistance from the Umbrians prompted Rinaudo to switch to another experienced defender such as Maschiangelo, who due to sporting and tactical issues quickly found himself at the bottom of the pecking order and only saw the pitch four times. To prevent situations like this from happening again, City Group seems to be targeting people who have been playing constantly and do not suffer from pre-existing physical problems: in this sense, the attractive profile (more attractive than Martella’s, but also more difficult to reach) is Beruatto. who missed only four games in Pisa in the two years between the championship and the playoffs.
