Parma are the only Italian club to make an offer for Manchester United striker Giuseppe Rossi, according to the player’s agent.
The American-born marksman was a key player for the Ducali as his nine goals kept them in the top-flight during his loan stint last term and the Emiliani have already made a £6m offer for the Azzurini ace.
The latest reports in Italy suggested that Napoli were also ready to join the race for the youngster and were planning an £8.5m bid, but Rossi’s representative dismissed the speculation.
“The only offer from Italy has arrived from Parma,” Andrea Pastorello told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“I have spoken with Napoli director general Pierpaolo Marino, but we discussed other players. I cannot confirm that they have made an offer for Giuseppe.”
Rossi, who was also paired with Fiorentina as the Viola search for a new high-profile hitman to replace Luca Toni, had stated that he was eager to prove himself with Manchester United.
Parma President Tommaso Ghirardi, however, hopes that his offer will be enough to bring the player back to the Stadio Tardini, although the Premiership outfit are after £10m.
