Milan told to forget Parma pair
Saturday 27 December, 2008

Parma have silenced rumours that Milan are chasing midfielders Stefano Morrone and McDonald Mariga.

The Italian giants are apparently looking for a new midfield terrier after Gennaro Gattuso was ruled out for the rest of the season with injury.

A number of players have been linked, but stories that Serie B side Parma may provide the answer seem somewhat inaccurate.

“It’s an honour for this club that they have been linked because it means that they are doing well for us,” noted Gialloblu chief Tommaso Ghirardi.

“However, at the moment, we haven’t received any offers.

“Our objective for this season is to return to Serie A, therefore it will be difficult for us to let go of two such important players.

“In fact, we plan to buy after Christmas, not sell.”

Parma, now bossed by Francesco Guidolin following the sacking of Gigi Cagni earlier this term, are joint first in Serie B with Livorno, Sassuolo, Empoli and Brescia.
