Venezia secured a 1-1 draw in a hard-fought derby against Verona, but the match ended on a sombre note for fans as captain Joel Pohjanpalo may have played his last game at the Stadio Penzo. The game saw Venezia take an early lead with a goal from Alessio Zerbin, only to be equalized by Jackson Tchatchoua in the late stages of the match, resulting in two crucial points lost for the home side.
Following the final whistle, the team gathered to acknowledge their supporters, with Pohjanpalo visibly emotional as he received a heartfelt farewell from the fans. This moment was particularly poignant, as rumors swirl about his imminent transfer to Palermo, where negotiations are reportedly progressing well.
Coach Eusebio Di Francesco addressed the situation in a post-match press conference, expressing that while Pohjanpalo is still part of the team for now, his future remains uncertain. Di Francesco acknowledged the player’s professionalism and hinted that decisions regarding transfers do not rest solely with him.
Palermo has made a formal offer of €6 million for Pohjanpalo, which Venezia is likely to accept unless unexpected developments occur. The club is currently focused on finding a suitable replacement before finalizing Pohjanpalo’s departure.
