Juventus’ close links with Parma could make all the difference in the race to sign Alberto Gilardino.
The striker is a target for Juve, Milan, plus Inter and the Tardini outfit have hinted that they could reach a deal with the Turin giants.
"I have a long memory and I can’t forget that Juventus have given us £100m in exchange for players over the years," administrator Luca Baraldi told Tuttosport.
"We’ve used that money to settle a lot of debts and bring in promising youngsters with a great future.
"In the meantime, Juventus have won a lot by investing in men such as Gigi Buffon, Lilian Thuram and Marco Di Vaio.
"We have a sincere friendship with the Bianconeri."
Gilardino will be sold in the summer after another prolific season, following his 22 League goals so far.
Milan were believed to be in pole position for the Italian international but Baraldi is waiting for developments.
"Gilardino will obviously join the club who offer the biggest fee," continued the Gialloblu official.
"If Milan offer more than Juventus then it is clear that Alberto will be wearing the Rossoneri shirt.
"However, up to now we have had no concrete offers from any club so far."

Parma should give us some discounts for all the money we spent on their players.
