After the Vanoli Cremona financial difficulties at the end of 2019–20 season that put the entire club into bankruptcy risk, Palmi was the only player who was confirmed for the following 2020–21 season. However he parted way with Cremona four games before the natural conclusion of the competition in order to attend some medical scrutinies in Finland.[3] Palmi joined Tampereen Pyrintö in 2021 and averaged 17.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. On December 9, 2021, Palmi signed with Limburg United of the BNXT League.[4]
