Serie A outfit Palermo have reluctantly conceded defeat in their bid to land sought after Lecce star Ernesto Chevanton.
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has blamed agents for the collapse of the deal, with reports suggesting delays in the proposed move were deliberate - with Internazionale keen to engineer a bid.
It has been suggested that the Italian giants will buy the talented Uruguayan striker and then immediately loan him out to Fiorentina.
''I left the negotiation because there were a few agents who wanted to be paid incorrectly,'' confirmed Zamparini.
''We already had an agreement with Lecce.
''I hope Chevanton will not go to Inter because I have a big esteem for Moratti.
''Chevanton will never arrive in Palermo and I'm bitter about the Inter and Fiorentina rumours. I just hope they are not true.
''Between presidents there must be another style.''
From the player's perspective, Chevanton admits that he too is unsure of his future.
''In a month rumours have linked me to Juventus, Valencia, Inter, Palermo and Fiorentina,'' Chevanton told Gazzetta dello Sport.
''But, if my agents haven't told me officially the name of the club I'll play for next season, it means that nothing has been decided.
''Sure, I know Lecce found an agreement with Palermo for my transfer but my will is decisive too.
''It isn't a case of refusing Palermo, rather, I am checking if there is a club engaged in Europe that have the will to bet on me.
''I know nothing.''
However, the club have completed a deal for Argentinian Ernesto Antonio Farias from Estudiantes.
The player has inked a four-year deal after a lengthy negotiation between both parties.
The little devil (Moggi) at work perhaps???
