Palermo also entered a long, well-publicized negotiation with Chievo regarding the services of 34-year-old goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino to replace Ujkani, who was deemed as inexperienced by the club; after overcoming a number of obstacles, Palermo succeeded in completing the deal on 25 January, thus opening the doors for Ujkani's departure. Sorrentino promptly provided a man-of-the-match debut in a 1–1 draw at Cagliari, with Palermo suffering an injury-time equalizer to prevent the Rosanero from winning their first away game of the season.
