Juve-Real Joust for Gilardino
Parma have had their players evaluated as part of their administration and both Real Madrid and Juventus have dived in with bids for the top stars.
It is reported that the Spaniards were first in with a double offer of £17.5m for both Daniele Bonera and Alberto Gilardino.
Both players are also main transfer targets for the Bianconeri, who followed on with a bid of £10m plus youth team star Boudianski in exchange for Gilardino.
The bidding war broke out after Parma’s entire squad was evaluated as part of the administration process. It is reported that Gilardino was handed a price-tag of £12m, while Matteo Ferrari is worth £6.6m and his defensive teammate Bonera £6m.
However, considering the keen interest in Under-21 international Gilardino from a number of top European sides, that figure is set to rise considerably.
The Spanish press suggests that Bonera is being tracked in order to strengthen Real Madrid’s weak defence. They have already signed one Serie A star, paying £18m for Roma’s Walter Samuel, and new Coach Jose Antonio Camacho respects the Parma fullback.

Looks like Juve is finally making a serious bid. Who's made the more tempting offer though? And who is that Boudianski? Is he worth at least £2 m?
