Parma lower Gilardino fee Monday 23 May, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parma have suggested that they are ready to lower their £35m asking price for star striker Alberto Gilardino.
Tardini chief Luca Baraldi installed the massive price tag last month but may now be ready to reconsider it after Milan bulked at that figure.
"The best players can make the difference and it is right that clubs should gain an economical advantage for them," he told Sky Italia.
"(Milan chief Adriano) Galliani said he would pull out at that price? I didn’t set a price, I just gave my opinion by comparing him to Adriano."
The Brazilian joined Inter from Parma for a similar fee in January 2004 and Gilardino is set to be the next big name player to quit the Emilia outfit.
"We’ll consider figures at the end of the season," added Baraldi. "Only once serious negotiations start will we get a clear picture of the situation.
"Galliani is a great football official and it is only right that he is saying what he is right now."
The Italian international striker, 22 goals so far this term, is a target for a number of clubs across Italy and Europe.
Milan, Inter and Juventus have been associated in the peninsula, while Chelsea and Real Madrid have also been linked.
