Duo continue Obinna assault Thursday 16 August, 2007

Parma and Cagliari haven’t given up hope of luring Nigerian hitman Victor Obinna, despite Chievo’s insistence that the prodigy is not for sale.

The powerful 20-year-old is keen to find a Serie A side after the Flying Donkeys were relegated last term, but there is currently an agreement between his owners Inter and the Gialloblu to keep him at the Stadio Bentegodi.

Chievo are determined to keep Obinna at the club as they look to make a swift return to the top flight, but the player’s agent Gaetano Paolillo has revealed that he is ready to leave,

““There are eight squads interested in the player, from big clubs to small ones,” he told Tuttomercatoweb.it.

“Fiorentina are not one of them as they have signed Osvaldo, but Cagliari and Parma are chasing him. Obinna would like to stay in Serie A. Since Chievo’s relegation he has been clear with the club that he doesn’t want to play in Serie B.”

The Ceo’s chances of keeping the Super Eagle at the club were dealt a further blow when they fell at the first hurdle in the Coppa Italia to newly-promoted Cadetti side Ravenna.
