Amauri to jilt Old Lady?
The future of Palermo's Amauri is shrouded in mystery as the in-demand striker admits a desire to wear the Milan shirt while his agent talks to Roma.
Just days ago it seemed that Amauri’s summer switch to Juventus was a formality with the former Chievo man stating that he was “91 per cent Juve.”
However, things don’t seem so clear-cut now after his representative Mariano Grimaldi denied he was planning to finalise a deal with Bianconeri sporting director Alessio Secco in the near future.
“There is no meeting scheduled with Secco,” he told Laromasiamonoi.
“Last week I spoke to Alessio, but just as I speak to various clubs on a regular basis, including Milan who are also an interested party.
“At the moment I am in Rome. I have spoken to Roma’s sporting director Daniele Pradè who wanted information on the situation.
“He told me that as soon as they sort out the questions regarding the club’s direction, we would speak again.
“There isn’t any definitive agreement with anyone yet. We haven’t even talked about money with Juventus.
“The summer transfer market is still some way off and we are just at the early stages.
“I can only repeat that we are weighing up various offers and I will be more precise in the future,” Grimaldi continued.
“The player just wants to play for the best clubs. He enjoyed being in Rome and has lots of friends there, but at the moment there are lots of factors to consider.”
Meanwhile, Amauri has raised doubts over his commitment to Juventus with a shock admission in La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“If I could, I would play six months for Juve and six for Milan,” he said.
“There are lots of my compatriots playing for the Rossoneri and they are an attractive option, but one big squad is the same as another.”
