Palermo have confirmed they are ready to sell star striker Luca Toni if an offer of at least £11m is made.
The Italian international has been linked with a summer exit but President Maurizio Zamparini insists he won’t let him go on the cheap.
"Luca Toni will not be leaving here for less than £11m," the Sicilian chief told the stadionews.it website.
Fiorentina are very interested in the forward but have reportedly only bid £11m for Toni and teammate Cristian Zaccardo.
However, Zamparini is unimpressed by the way Viola sporting director Pantaleo Corvino is conducting himself.
"He’s always tried to be crafty," added Zamparini. "He targets 20 players and causes great chaos. I think he’s simply creating smoke for no reason."
Toni has netted 50 League goals in two seasons at the Renzo Barbera but talks over a new contract have seemed to spoil their relationship.
The former Brescia man said last week that things would not be the same at Palermo anymore, a statement which has angered his employer.
"He is still too much of a kid to take part in important discussions, he should leave them up to me," concluded Zamparini.
Meanwhile, Palermo are reportedly close to signing Galatasaray goalkeeper Faryd Ali Mondragon.
The Colombian shot-stopper, 34, still has one-year left on his contract with the Turkish giants. |
