Parma offers 5 milions for Diamanti

Livorno President Aldo Spinelli confirms an English club, most likely Sunderland, have enquired after Alessandro Diamanti. “We have been contacted by an English bank on behalf of a British club wanting to know Diamanti’s asking price,” explained Spinelli this afternoon.“I am waiting to see how things develop. It is true that Parma have also asked after our player, but they are our direct opponent in the battle against relegation. In any case, we will have to forward all proposals to Diamanti, because he is the one who must decide.”

It is reported Parma have offered €5 milions plus Leon for the trequartista, who is also of interest to Inter as an alternative to Real Madrid star Wesley Sneijder.Although Spinelli did not name the British club making the bid, it is widely believed to be Sunderland. In the case of a pure cash offer, Diamanti’s price-tag is around €8.5 milions.
