Nocerino: I’m Joining Palermo


Nocerino: I’m Joining Palermo

Antonio Nocerino has confirmed that he will be leaving Juventus and joining Palermo as part of the swap deal that will see Amauri end up in Turin.

The Amauri transfer saga has been dragging on for several weeks now, but last night it was reported that a deal between Juventus and Palermo was just hours away from being completed.

Juventus will, it seems, pay 12 million Euros for the Brazilian, and the Sicilians will receive Antonio Nocerino and half of Davide Lanzafame's contract in exchange.

"I am going to Palermo,” Nocerino told the Corriere dello Sport.

“Juventus is Juventus, but at this point of my career I have to think mainly about myself and I need to play with continuity.

“Palermo seems the most appropriate place including its character. I like the warmth of the people and the city, I like the stadium, I like that I am appreciated .

“I want to go to the next World Cup with the national team and with the Rosanero my chances will be better.

“I need continuity and a favourable environment. The capital of Sicily seems the best destination.”

Nocerino made 32 Serie A appearances this season for Juve, but he fell down the midfield pecking order after the January arrival of Momo Sissoko.
