Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed that Mauro Boselli has agreed to join Palermo on loan until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has had spells on loan at Genoa and Estudiantes since signing for the Latics in 2010.
"We agreed a loan deal with Palermo and Mauro will go back to Italy where he had a spell with Genoa until the end of the season," said Martinez.
"That was done this morning and that is the reason why he wasn't in the squad [for the 1-0 win at Macclesfield]."
Boselli has scored four goals in 12 first-team appearances for Wigan this season.
