Rossi uncertain over future

Giuseppe Rossi is waiting to know where he will be playing next season as Manchester United have yet to respond to Parma’s offer.

The Under-21 international was decisive in keeping the Gialloblu in Serie A during his loan spell at the Tardini, helping their cause with nine goals after his January move.

Although he stated that he wanted a chance in the United first team this term, Parma President Tommaso Ghirardi tabled a £7m offer in a bid to convince the Premiership club to sell the youngster.

“I think with an offer of £6.7-8.1m, Manchester United could be tempted to let Rossi go,” said the player’s agent Andrea Pastorello.

“Parma have made an offer and are awaiting a response from Manchester,” added the striker’s representative.

Rossi, who is also a reported target for Fiorentina, is highly rated by Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but could be forced out of the club by the expected arrival of West Ham’s Carlos Tevez.

“Fiorentina are a great club and could represent a good solution for Giuseppe, who is a young talented player,” explained Pastorello, referring to reports that the Viola are ready to offer £8m.

“I have just returned from Spain and I haven’t had a chance to speak to sporting director Pantaleo Corvino yet. I will do so in the next few days to see if the negotiations can be successful,” he concluded.

Milan were also expected to make an offer for the New Jersey-born marksman, as they continue to search for a new striker with Ricardo Oliveira expected to join Real Zaragoza in the next few days.

Parma leave Rossi in limbo

Just as Manchester United release Giuseppe Rossi, Parma state they no longer want the starlet, while Milan are keeping track of the Carlos Tevez saga.

Under-21 international Rossi spent the last six months of the season on loan at the Stadio Tardini, where his nine goals in 16 games proved decisive in avoiding relegation.

Now Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that the forward will be sent away from Old Trafford yet again, most likely back to Italy.

“We have had offers for Giuseppe, which puts us in a bit of a situation,” said Ferguson.

“I have to look at Manchester United in terms of how do we improve to get better. And when someone like Tevez comes along, it makes it difficult for people like Alan Smith and Giuseppe in particular.”

However, on the same day Parma slammed the door on a bid to extend Rossi’s stay.

“Parma’s attack does not need reinforcements for the moment,” announced director of sport Zamagna.

“There are many strikers in pre-season training and we will in time evaluate whether we need something extra later on.”

Rossi has other contenders for his signature, though, such as Claudio Ranieri’s Juventus and newly promoted Napoli.

Manchester United are also caught up in another Serie A connection, as Milan are said to be keeping a close eye on the unfolding Tevez saga.

The Argentine has agreed a move to United, but West Ham are blocking his medical and FIFA have been called in to arbitrate.

It has not been entirely clarified who owns Tevez’s contract – West Ham or adviser Kia Joorabchian’s company MSI.

If the tale drags on and Manchester United back out or lose their case, then Milan are reportedly prepared to dive in with a firm offer to tempt him to San Siro.

Tevez had also been in advanced negotiations with Inter earlier this summer, but they dropped the talks when he refused to meet their deadline for making a decision.

It’s believed that Italian rules would have less of an issue with Tevez’s unusual ownership status than the Premier League.

Both Del Piero, Iaquinta and Trezeguet aren't getting any younger and G. Rossi and Huntellar (my fave striker today) are the perfect replacements. I would buy Rossi and loan to Parma I guess. The guy would just sit in the bench for us right now. I would love a team with those 2 and maybe Quagliarella but that aint happening anytime soon.

I can't believe you are suggesting Iaquinta is getting old, he hasn't even played for us yet. He is 27, that leaves a minimum of 5 years at a high level.

In November he is actually turning 28 ;)

He is not a player you think of when you are speaking of future. He has been playing for 11 years already. But I guess you are right, he is not THAT old. :cool:

perhaps you didnt read the above article properly, Parma say they are no longer interested in Rossi because they have plenty stikers already, so why would they sign him on a loan deal?
