Parma capture Corradi - Report
Tuesday 2 August, 2005
There are reports that Bernardo Corradi will be Alberto Gilardino’s replacement at the Stadio Tardini this season after agreeing a loan move from Valencia.
The former Chievo and Lazio hitman had been looking for a move back to Serie A and was linked with a series of clubs, including Inter, Milan, Sampdoria and Fiorentina.
There was also Premiership interest from Manchester City, but the Italian international wanted a return home following his disappointing spell in Spain.
The 29-year-old netted just three goals in 21 La Liga appearances and made it clear he was unhappy with the experience.
Corradi is a classic centre-forward and the natural replacement for Gilardino, who joined Milan last month in a £17m move. Valencia will continue to pay a percentage of his wages during his loan period.
Meanwhile, Parma have lost today’s pre-season friendly against Swiss outfit Basle 2-1. Youngster Rosina was on target for the Gialloblu, but Delgado and Petric sealed the scoreline.
Roma were also in action and beat Bolzano 3-1 with goals from Vincenzo Montella, Cerci and Corvia. Antonio Cassano and Francesco Totti played one half each, but were not fielded in the same line-up.
