Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has revealed he's in talks with Arab investors.

The patron had stated he was looking into selling shares of the club to new investors in the Middle East and held a press conference today.

"Some friends have invited me to Dubai, as they are doing some business operations in our country that requires foreign capital," explained Zamparini.

"I found people who are very similar to the Sicilians, who give more importance to heart and sentiments than anything else. I talked to them about Palermo's football and I hope they'll want to enter this world."
