Palermo, everyone is crazy about Di Francesco
The new signing from Rosanero against Feralpisalò came on as a substitute and scored a goal after six minutes. Coaches, teammates and the city rave about him, who thank him: “This is the best start I could ask for.”

Di Francesco was the valuable piece of a high-profile market that must bear fruit in terms of advertising. Palermo invested in him and persisted even after sporting director Corvino’s first no: a three-year contract and over a million paid into Lecce’s coffers. But when a good morning starts in the morning…
