Amauri: Arsenal interest denied
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has denied the club have received an offer from Arsenal for striker Amauri.
Highly-rated striker Amauri has been linked with several top European clubs and Palermo recently began negotiating with Juventus for the transfer of the 27-year-old this summer.
The player’s agent claimed last week that Arsenal had expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian.
However, Zamparini insists they have had no contact with Arsenal regarding Amauri, who is currently in the process of acquiring Italian citizenship.
Offers”We have not received any offers from the Gunners,” said Zamparini “Other clubs have contacted from Spain and England, but the problem remains his passport.”
Zamparini did confirm that Palermo are in talks with Juventus over a possible switch to Turin and that they had given their Serie A rivals permission to talk to Amauri.
Talks”Then there’s the issue that we have negotiations with Juventus,” added Zamparini. “We have authorised them (Juve) to speak to the player.
“I want to reiterate that Juventus is a serious club like Palermo.”
Amauri, who is under contract with the Sicilian giants until June 2011, has scored 13 league goals for Palermo this campaign.
