Palermo starlet Bosko Jankovic has revealed his desire to play for Juventus, but President Maurizio Zamparini is angry at the Old Lady’s attitude.
Jankovic has started just 11 games this term since arriving at the Stadio Renzo Barbera from Real Mallorca last summer.
But the 23-year-old has been tipped from the top and is reportedly on Juve’s radar.
“To play for a club like Juventus is a lifelong dream for any player on earth,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“We are talking about one of the best known and loves clubs in the world and they are very popular in my city Belgrade and the rest of Serbia.
“There has been talk about me moving to Turin recently and I was delighted to hear it.
“When I heard that they saw me as a replacement for Pavel Nedved one day I was even happier.
“The big clubs are the main objective for any professional, but I want to keep my feet on the ground.
“I think it would possibly be best to spend another year at Palermo for my value as they are the perfect squad to grow at and prepare for the step up.”
Despite Palermo’s close working relationship with Juventus, chief Zamparini - who looks set to lose star striker Amauri to the Bianconeri - is becoming frustrated at the Turin giants’ cherry-picking.
“We have spoken to Alessio Secco and we have stated that Palermo isn’t a feeder club for Juve,” he roared.
“So he needs to explain to the rest of their directors and Coach Claudio Ranieri that we must respect our roles.”
