Parma director general Pietro Leonardi has told Omar El Kaddouri that he is no longer wanted by the Tardini outfit.

Andrea Pirlo has won over Europe with his performances, but Eugenio Corini remembers “on his debut aged 16 we knew a star had been born.”

The Italy midfielder’s Man of the Match performance and audacious chipped penalty against England has seen him hit the headlines.

Parma insist that they will not enter a transfer tug-of-war with Juventus for Brescia youngster Omar El Kaddouri.

Both Catania and Fiorentina are interested in signing Brescia’s attacking midfielder Panagiotis Kone.

Greek international Kone, who was named in his national side’s provisional squad for Euro 2012 only to not make the final cut for the tournament proper, spent last season on loan at Bologna.

However, in light of Alessandro Diamanti and Gaston Ramirez’ form in the second half of 2011-12, the 24-year-old struggled for playing time, with almost half his eventual appearances for the Rossoblu coming from the bench.

Brescia star Omar El Kaddouri says he hasn’t decided to join Parma because he’s waiting for an offer from Juventus.

Serie B side Brescia are adamant that Parma are leading Juventus in the race to sign Omar El Kaddouri.

Alessandro Diamanti will remain at Bologna after the blind auction, which his club confirms was “like a poker game.”

The player was co-owned between Brescia and Bologna, so went to a blind auction, where each club writes a figure in a sealed envelope and the highest bid wins the full contract.

Brescia have slammed Genoa for “breaking their promises” and refusing to enter a bid in the blind auction for Andrea Caracciolo.

The two clubs had a co-ownership deal and could not reach an agreement on who would buy him outright, so the matter went to a blind auction.

The blind auctions have been held and Roma bought Fabio Borini from Parma, while Bologna now own Alessandro Diamanti.

In Italy all co-ownership deals must be in place by the June 22 deadline or they go to a blind auction. This is where both clubs write a figure in a sealed envelope and the highest bid wins the remaining half of his contract.

There are rumours Roma have the winning bid for Fabio Borini and Bologna will keep Alessandro Diamanti.

The two players will only discover their fate at 10.00 UK time on Saturday morning, when the sealed envelopes in the blind auction will be opened.
