Amauri plans Palermo exit
Sunday 30 December, 2007

Brazilian striker Amauri has confirmed that he expects to leave Palermo at the end of the current campaign.

The Rosanero hitman, currently in his second season at the Renzo Barbera, has been linked with both Juventus and Milan – and he isn’t fussy about which giant he joins.

“I would like to play with Alex Del Piero and David Trezeguet, but it would also be great to play with Kakà too,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I would be honoured to play for both teams, so we will have to see who gets me first…

“My main target at the moment is to qualify for the Champions League with Palermo, because I owe them a lot. I think we can do it.”

The Brazilian has also confessed that he could follow in Mauro Camoranesi’s footsteps by taking on Italian nationality.

“Something could happen in 2008, either Brazil or Italy could call me. It would be a dream to play for either and it was a pleasure to read about Dunga and Roberto Donadoni’s praise.”

Regarding Amauri’s exit, Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has announced that Juventus are in pole position for the 27-year-old striker.

“The Bianconeri are the only club who could offer me an adequate player exchange, even though I’m not selling anyone for the time being,” he stated.

“Milan don’t have to call me as their Vice-President Adriano Galliani is the last person I would sell Amauri to.”
