Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini declared to Italian daily sports newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport' that Juventus are the only club who could pry Amauri away from him, and that AC Milan had turned down another of his strikers in the past...The fiery Zamparini was speaking to the 'Corriere' about the futures of star duo Amauri and Andrea Barzagli.
Amauri has been heavily associated with a move to Milan, however Zamparini is adamant that he will not allow the Brazilian to move to the Rossoneri.
"Milan don't have to call me, as Galliani is the last person I would sell him Amauri to," declared the Palermo president.
"Before selling Toni to Fiorentina, I offered him to Galliani. I even begged him to sign him, but he responded that he was not suitable to wear the Rossoneri's shirt."
Toni famously went on to win the European Golden Boot in his first season with the Viola, becoming the first person in almost 50 years to score more than 30 goals in a Serie A campaign.
“I would like to make something very clear,” Zamparini continued.
“We are not a branch of Inter and Milan, handing over our champions to them. If a club is interested in a Palermo player they have to ask officially and with correctness, just like Juventus did when Moggi was there, and also how the present Juventus does.
"In the last months Juventus got closer to Amauri and Barzagli. The Bianconeri are the only club who could offer me an adequate player exchange, even though for the time being I'm not selling anyone."
