Let's face it, Gilardino only wanted Roma, that's saying something like we not a bigger team than Roma.
"Alberto Gilardino may have penned a new contract with Parma, but he warns that a dream move to Roma is still on the cards.
“I am happy to stay in Silvio Baldini’s squad,” commented the striker from the Olympic training camp in Greece, “but the transfer market is open until August 31.”
Many supporters hoped that the speculation surrounding his future would come to an end after he extended his contract with Parma until 2007 last week.
However, it would seem that the 22-year-old remains determined that his switch to the Stadio Olimpico will happen sooner or later.
The Giallorossi are on the same wavelength and director of sport Franco Baldini commented, “If Parma wish to discuss Gilardino again then they know where to find us.”
Meanwhile, the former Piacenza forward – who is also a prime target for Juventus and Milan – claims there will be no further developments until after the Olympics."
