Giovinco tipped to leave Parma

Sebastian Giovinco’s agent has claimed the Parma attacker will be playing for a ‘big club’ next season.

Italy international Giovinco initially arrived at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on loan from Juventus in 2010 and the deal was extended at the beginning of this season.

Juve retained a 50 percent stake in the player and his representative, Andrea D’Amico, has said even if a return to Turin does not materialise, his client will leave Parma in the off-season.

“His ownership has to be sorted out between Juventus and Parma,” D’Amico told Radio Lombardia.

“It seems to me that Juve are not in a hurry to do so; otherwise they would have already met with Parma.

“The guy is tempting a lot of big Italian and European sides and Parma would be in a strong position if they go into talks with Juventus backed by an important offer from another club.

“But whatever happens, Giovinco will certainly be playing for a big team next season.”

While D’Amico claimed Giovinco will be on the move, he insisted AC Milan forward Maxi Lopez, signed on loan from Catania in January, is going nowhere.

“He will stay at Milan,” D’Amico said.

“He has proven that he is a player who deserves to be with the Rossoneri.”
