Palermo defender Matias Silvestre is ready to leave the Sicilians.

Silvestre has only been with Palermo for a year.

"It's true, I expected more," he told TMW. "When I accepted the move to Palermo, I thought we'd be challenging for the Europa League. Instead, the team was eliminated in the preliminary round. I am certainly regretful on how the season ended.

"Next season I want to play for an ambitious club that takes part in European competition. I heard talk of many clubs interested in me and I am the right age to take that step up in quality. I want to do that from next year.

"Obviously whoever wants me will have to pay the price-tag that Palermo are asking for, but I would very much like that to happen. I want to take that next step."
