Amauri’s move to Juventus will be sorted out in the next week, insists Palermo patron Maurizio Zamparini.
The player and Sicilian club have already stated the deal is “91 per cent” done, but there are problems emerging.
“I am tired of this story and have told our director of sport Rino Foschi to close up negotiations in the first few days of next week,” announced Zamparini.
He had opened the door to Milan and admitted that was still a possibility, although it is probably only a bargaining tool.
“In the transfer market you never can tell, but we are talking to Juve right now and have not changed our strategy from 15 days ago.
“The Bianconeri directors know full well which three players we want in exchange for Amauri. Anything else is talk spread around by agents.”
Palermo have requested several impressive youngsters as part of the swap deal, including Sebastian Giovinco, who is currently on loan at Empoli.
