In mid‑July 2026 reports indicated that Serie A side Sampdoria were preparing a two‑year contract to bring striker Matteo Brunori back to Genoa after his stint with Palermo, while also scouting goalkeepers such as Emil Audero and Simone Scuffet.

By the end of July, Palermo confirmed that Brunori would leave the club. The long‑time captain, who helped Palermo secure promotion to Serie B and chose not to drop to Serie C, attracted interest from several clubs. Serie C side Bari emerged as the most aggressive suitor, with Serie B outfits Cremonese and Cesena also monitoring the player. A final decision on his destination was expected in the coming weeks.
