The Sicilians seem ready to put their faith in 20-year-old Josip Posavec in his first full Serie A season.

“This team needs to be completed,” warned Ballardini after a 1-0 Coppa Italia win in extra time over 10-man Bari.

“Posavec did well, as he was decisive on a couple of occasions. His quality is not up for debate, but having said that he needs another goalkeeper who can help him.”

Palermo released a statement a few days ago assuring the club had no interest in signing another shot-stopper this season.

“It is a delicate situation. We must put our faith in these lads and are happy with them,” replied Palermo director of sport Daniele Faggiano on RaiSport.
