Reggiana is at the centre of Palermo's interest, which has opened talks to sign winger Andrea Bozzolan. The Sicilian club, still disappointed by missing promotion to Serie A last year, aims to strengthen the squad before the 2026‑27 season starts.

Why does Palermo want Bozzolan?

Palermo sees Bozzolan as the perfect profile to add depth to its attack. The 2004‑born player showed steady improvement in Serie B, tallying 7 assists and 5 goals last season. According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, the rossoneri are considering an offer that also includes a buy‑back clause for Milan, which still holds future rights on the youngster.

What role does Milan play in the deal?

Milan retains a buy‑back clause on the 2004‑born player, meaning any agreement between Palermo and Reggiana must allow the Lombard club to re‑sign Bozzolan within a set period. This makes the negotiation more intricate but also more appealing for all parties. Milan could view Bozzolan as a potential Serie A reinforcement.

How does Reggiana's management react?

Reggiana president Luca Gabbrielli said the club is open to serious offers but prioritises staying competitive in the league. "We don’t want to lose such a young talent without assessing his real value," he told a press conference on July 5, 2026. The board is closely watching Palermo and Milan, ready to negotiate terms that may include performance bonuses.

What does this mean for Reggiana’s squad?

If Bozzolan leaves, the team will need a replacement on the right wing. The club already has a young prospect from Cremonese’s youth sector on its radar, but the final decision will hinge on the outcome of the talks. Meanwhile, coach Davide Ballardini reassured fans: "We have a contingency plan and the squad is ready to adapt."

What are the next steps?

The involved parties are expected to meet by the end of July to finalise the terms. Should the negotiation succeed, Bozzolan could sign with Palermo before the summer transfer window closes on August 31, 2026. Otherwise, Reggiana will keep the player for the upcoming season, aiming to solidify its league position.
