The Italian defender cannot join the Blues at present as Sliema already have three foreigners – Akanji, Doncic and Anonam. His move would become possible if Akanji had to leave the Blues, but then Sliema will have to find a suitable replacement for the Nigerian goalkeeper and they might turn their eyes on Saviour Darmanin of Pieta Hotspurs.
Di Lello is also thought to be a target for some other Premier League clubs.
