Frosinone lock up Italy U‑21 keeper Palmisani until 2031 after Como heroics

Frosinone moved quickly to secure Lorenzo Palmisani after his decisive 2‑0 victory over Como left a clear gap in the club’s goal‑keeping options. The Italy Under‑21 international’s heroics earned him Serie A Man of the Match at the Stadio Benito Stirpe and prompted the club to offer a fresh contract running to June 2031.

Contract details and market impact

The new deal, announced shortly after the match, extends Palmisani’s stay until 2031, reflecting his rising value after Juventus reportedly abandoned an €8 million bid this summer. His performances have more than tripled his market worth,

Palmisani, a product of the Frosinone youth academy, turned 22 in June and has already been pivotal in the club’s recent promotion from Serie B, keeping 15 clean sheets and saving 80 percent of shots on target.

International duties and future outlook

He remains a fixture in the Italy Under‑21 squad, set to feature in European Championship qualifiers against Armenia on 1 October and Poland on 5 October. Como manager Cesc Fabregas praised the keeper, saying, “I didn’t know their goalkeeper before this, but if I was Roberto Mancini, I’d think about him.”

With the contract secured, Frosinone can build on Palmisani’s form without the distraction of transfer speculation, while Juventus’ missed opportunity underscores the goalkeeper’s growing reputation.
