Livorno president Aldo Spinelli has admitted he will allow star striker Cristiano Lucarelli to leave the club.

However, any interested parties will have to meet Lucarelli's release clause - which stands at €9million (£6.4million).

Lucarelli has clashed with Spinelli over the sacking of coach Daniele Arrigoni and he has stated that he wants to leave.

"My history with Livorno is over. It is clear that Spinelli is trying to force me out of the club, I do not want there to be any doubts," explained Lucarelli.

"The president told me that with my behaviour I am influencing the atmosphere and the team.

"I thought I could only influence the club with my goals, having scored 85 times in this shirt. I wanted to stay here for life, evidently I was wrong,"

Spinelli had reacted by stating the 31-year-old can leave.

"I cannot block him and if he wants to leave this club then he can go," said Spinelli.

"He has a clause and if there is a club willing to pay that price then I will honour our deal and let him leave.

"In January Palermo were interested in Lucarelli, but they didn't want to pay enough. Obviously I would be sorry to see him go as I would like him to stay until 2010.

"I don't know if Cristiano really wants to leave Livorno, even if I understand that at the age of 31 he could have the wish to try a big move."

Right now we have:

Diver age 24
Olive age 26
Borriello age 24
inzaghi age 33
ronaldo age 30


Inzaghi and boriello are going to be out next season so that leaves us with:

oliv
diver
ronaldo
Lucarelli (if we sign him)

Now think about it like this. Lucarelli doesn't need to play CL for us, but he sure can help assist us in serie A. Ronaldo can't start every game, and the diver and oliv can't score every game too. Luca, can score against chievo and all the smaller teams, which is good because i think we as fans deserve a scudetto soon. Unless we sign toni, i dont see pato making the difference in games. Look at gourcuff, he barely gets playing time. What makes you think that pato will be any different. Milan is not a club who raises youngsters like arsenal, we repair careers, and take them from there prime and retire them.


Furthermore, instead of wasting money, we can sign R10 and sign luca for cheap and we will be garunteed goals. I would rather not waste our money on huntelaar and see to it that he turns out like gilardino. Lucarelli wont stay for long aswell, so we can use his skillz temporarily till some strikers worthy of sheva/ronaldos shoes comes along so we can fill them.
