After being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, an Italian club actively participates in the players market in January - the team's striker moved to another team for an undisclosed fee and the loan of two players, while the goalkeeper exchanged positions with AS Roma's Lazio according to a loan agreement.
30-year-old D. Di Michele, who has represented the Italian national team three times, rejected an offer to move to Inter Milan and chose to sign a three and a half year contract with Palermo for the opportunity to play more matches. The transfer fee paid by the Sicilian club for the player remains undisclosed, but as part of the deal, Udinese has loaned out 23-year-old goalkeeper Salvatore Masiello and 22-year-old striker Simone Pepe until the end of the season.
Another player who did not find a place in the main team under the management of Serse Cosmi is S. Mauri. The versatile 26-year-old former Brescia winger was tempted by the opportunity to move to Roma, where 28-year-old midfielder R. Baronio, who was loaned out to Udinese, will help compensate for the absence of Christian Obodo and Sulley Ali Muntari, who left for the African Nations Cup.
