Pizarro desperate for move Wednesday 6 July, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Udinese may be playing in the Champions’ League next term but David Pizarro is adamant he wants to leave the club.
The Chilean international is keen to move on but little has happened since he put in a transfer request.
"I’m not interested in playing Champions’ League football with Udinese, I want to join a great side," he moaned.
"The club must keep their promise that they made to me, the one allowing me to move on at the end of the season."
Pizarro is widely considered as one of the best playmakers in Serie A right now and he’s not fussy over his next destination.
"I don’t have any preferences," he added. "I would be more than happy to join one from Juventus, Inter or Roma."
However, the Friuli outfit seem to have no real intention of depriving themselves of his services.
"What promise? If a serious bid is made we will consider it, otherwise he will stay here," said director general Pietro Leonardi.
The official also denied claims that the arrival of Christian Obodo from Perugia was to replace Pizarro in the side.
"They can play together," he added. "After all, Obodo has played well alongside Fabio Liverani (at Perugia) and Enzo Maresca (at Fiorentina) in the past."
