Simplicio to sign new Palermo deal

The 29-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Rosanero in recent weeks.

“It’s true,” Rinaldi told mediagol.it. “We have received an offer from Palermo to renew the contract [of Fabio Simplicio]. For now we are still negotiating but I will go to Italy before the 5th August.

“A draft contract has been drawn up, but there is no improvement as we have been offered the same wage as he has been on for the last three years.”
