According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Frosinone goalkeeper Palmisani is attracting interest from Juventus, Inter, and several Premier League clubs. His contract with Frosinone runs until 2031.

Born in 2004, Lorenzo Palmisani is currently the starting goalkeeper for Italy's U21 national team. His crucial saves in a match against Como earlier this season caught the attention of several club scouts. Palmisani has recorded two clean sheets in the league, demonstrating impressive statistical performance.

Why Palmisani is attracting attention

Palmisani stands 1.96m tall and ranks second in expected goals prevented (xGP) per 90 minutes with an average of 3, behind only Mandas. His save percentage stands at 84%, placing him third in saves per 90 minutes. While Frosinone has made a solid start, it's worth noting that they tend to concede more shots than top teams, which somewhat affects the comparability of these statistics.

However, Palmisani's save percentage remains slightly higher than elite goalkeepers like Sviliar and Carnesecchi. He also excelled in Serie B last season, where his save percentage of nearly 80% led the league, and he topped expected goals prevented with 13.2. He ranked third in saves per 90 minutes, behind Deschamps and Cerofolini.

These statistics are particularly remarkable for a goalkeeper who played in Serie C last season. In his youth, Palmisani played as a midfielder for a small club, Molè-Bielisti, in Alatri, where he nurtured his dream of becoming a professional. Through hard work, he recorded 15 clean sheets, helping Frosinone secure promotion to Serie A, and even earned a historic rating of 9 from La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Palmisani's characteristics

Palmisani's greatest strength is his instinctive reflexes. He makes timely saves whenever opponents create threatening opportunities. Against Como, he successfully denied shots from Dubickas, Paz, Kin, Jesús Rodríguez, and Dubickas again.

His shot-stopping ability on the goal line is excellent, but his distribution skills still need improvement. Currently, 50% of his long passes are inaccurate. Against Venezia, he completed only 4 of 16 long passes, and against Juventus, 10 of 17, which remains a low figure.

In short, the 2004-born Palmisani is not a goalkeeper like Butez who operates near the halfway line and distributes the ball to wingers with technical proficiency. However, he is reliable in front of goal and has significant potential for growth. As a result, major clubs from Inter to Juventus are considering him as a transfer target. Palmisani signed a contract extension in September through 2031, which gives Frosinone a strong negotiating position. His current estimated transfer fee is approximately 10-12 million euros and is expected to continue rising.
