After netting 4 this week-end, the Parma striker has confirmed he is the hottest transfer target for the summer to come.
Every big club inside Italy, and Real Madrid have been linked with him. The poor results of Parma and their hazardous financial situation might force them to sell him.
IMO he deserves his own thread in here (for the case Moggi would read this!).
here are some of the latest articles concerning him:
Football Italia:
Inter eye new Adriano partner
Monday 2 May, 2005
Inter boss Roberto Mancini says Adriano will remain with the club and could even be partnered by Alberto Gilardino next season.
The Nerazzurri tactician made the statement when he was asked to comment on stories that Chelsea are ready to offer £70m for the Brazilian.
"It would be a very impressive offer but a correct one considering that he is an extraordinary player," said the Coach.
"It is also certainly true that we could use that money to buy a host of players but Adriano is too important for us."
Stories last week suggested that Inter would target Parma’s Gilardino if they sacrificed Adriano, but Mancio hinted that the two players could in fact co-exist.
"Gilardino is a great attacker and he is of interest to us," stated Mancini after the striker netted four in the 6-4 win over Livorno yesterday.
Inter were also victorious on Sunday afternoon when they beat Siena 2-0 to maintain third place in the table.
"It was a very hot day and therefore it was difficult to play in that situation," added the Sampdoria legend.
"Why are we not still challenging for the title? We conceded too many goals at the start of this season," he explained.
"In order to win championships, you need to score as many as we have but let in far fewer than we have."
The San Siro giants have scored 60 League goals so far, but have also picked the ball out of their net on 34 occasions.

Gilardino non vuole il Real
La quaterna rifilata da Gilardino al Livorno non ha fatto altro che convincere, qualora ce ne fosse stato bisogno, Arrigo Sacchi e il Real Madrid sulla opportunità di provare ad ingaggiare il bomber biellese.
Il Real Madrid è ormai da tempo pronto a portare in Spagna Gilardino e lasciare magari tornare Michael Owen in Inghiilterra. Del resto, Arrigo Sacchi, dirigente delle merengues, ha sempre stravisto per l'attaccante parmenense e ha spinto il Real a preparare un assegno da almeno 25 milioni di euro per avere il giocatore.
Gilardino, che interessa sì al Real ma anche al Milan (che dovrebbe avere, secondo nostre informazioni, un forte diritto di prelazione sul giocatore se non addirittura lo ha già fermato) e all'Inter. Sacchi, come è stato notato da tutti gli osservatori presenti al Tardini, ha assistito in prima persona all'eccezionale prestazione dell'attaccante e poi, nelle ore successive al match, ha incontrato l'amministratore delegato ducale, Luca Baraldi.
Oggetto dell'incontro, come anticipato dallo stesso Sacchi in tribuna ad alcuni confidenti, era proporre al Parma un'offerta ufficiale del Real per Gilardino. Il problema, per Sacchi, sarà che sia il giocatore ad accettare la sistemazione che, per quanto prestigiosa, potrebbe non essere ideale per un campione in ascesa come lui.
Papà Gilardino, mesi fa, in una intervista aveva rivelato: "Alberto non vuole il Real anche se Sacchi lo stima. Lì ci sono troppi galli nel pollaio. Anche nel Milan ci sono grandi campioni ma lì può giocare sul vantaggio di essere il più giovane".

L'attaccante tranquillizza: "A gennaio non vado via, a giugno si vedrà. Carmignani? Ho già capito le sue idee. Il mio preferito è Prandelli, un grande uomo".

apa Gilardino reveals AC Milan deal: But we wanted Juventus!
tribalfootball.com - January 5, 2005
The father of Parma striker Alberto Gilardino has revealed an agreement has been struck with AC Milan for next season.
Gianfranco Gilardino also admitted both he and his son were sold against their wished.
He told Tuttosport yesterday: "Alberto will play with Milan next year. Only minor details need to be agreed. For me and also for him the transfer is one of disappointment: to go to Juve would have been the fulfillment of a dream."
"He added: "Juve could easily have signed Alberto. But they never came in for him
Staying at Parma was a mistake this season, he would have been better off joining Roma last summer."
On Real Madrid's interest, Gilardino Snr said: "Alberto would never have gone to Madrid, even if he does admire Arrigo Sacchi. It is far too far away from his home.
