Palermo goalkeeper Fontana set for January exit

Palermo, Italy (Sports Network) - Palermo have given veteran goalkeeper Alberto Fontana permission to seek a move away from the club in the January transfer window.

The 41-year-old shot-stopper has struggled to command a first-team place at the Stadio Renzo Barbera since the arrival of Italy international Marco Amelia in 2006.

"It's all under control," said the club's sporting director Walter Sabatini.

"He's a great goalkeeper and a very good professional. I think that he can play in any Serie A team.

"Our club believes that the role of the 12th player must be well defined.

"We have settled on Amelia and we want Fontana to be happy."
