Newcastle and Everton could go head-to-head for €30m Serie A star with 33 goals – report

Parma CEO Federico Cherubini recently addressed the growing speculation, stating (as quoted in the report): “We know there are many interests, but we are in no hurry.”

Cherubini’s stance could trigger a highly profitable bidding war for the Italian club’s coffers. However, Parma will only retain half of any incoming windfall, as a 50% sell-on clause is owed to the striker’s former club, Vélez Sarsfield.

The report adds that while domestic Italian clubs like Bologna, Como, and Fiorentina have also tested the waters, Parma’s €30 million valuation remains a massive obstacle for Serie A sides, giving the financially robust Premier League outfits a distinct advantage in negotiations.
