“I don’t know where I’ll play next season but I’m certain it will not be here at Palermo”. These are the words of midfielder Franco Vazquez, courted by Milan and several clubs from the Premier League. President Maurizio Zamparini wants to sell the player by June 30 to be able to balance the books.
 

As calciomercato.com revealed in an interview with Palermo vice-president Guglielmo Miccichè, in-depth discussions have taken place between himself and Sporting Director Rino Foschi and the rossonero value their man at €25 million. Mediagol.it has revealed that Milan have offered the Sicilian club €18 million plus the ownership of Rodrigo Ely and Jose Mauri plus Michael Agazzi, the goalkeeper who spent last season on-loan at Middlesbrough.  

Whilst Zamparini continues to evaluate the offer from Milan, he keeps his options open with alternative offers arriving from the Premier League. West Bromwich Albion are believed to have tabled a €25 million bid and Spurs are also keen on the 27-year old. It could be an important few days in the future of Franco Vazquez.
