Sicilian giants Palermo have admitted a desire to sign talented Bologna youngster Gaston Ramirez.

The Rosanero beat Bologna 3-1 this weekend, but Ramirez caught the eye of Maurizio Zamparini after scoring a consolation goal for the Dall’Ara outfit.

“What a player Ramirez is,” the Palermo President underlined. “I’d love to sign him, but that won’t be easy.”

The attacking midfielder penned a new contract at Bologna until 2016 last week, but he’s expected to move on in the summer.

Valued at around €14m by the club, the South American is understood to be on the radar of Juventus, Fiorentina, Udinese and Roma.
