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 positio…
Al Jazira have lifted the UAE President s Cup for the second year in a row after a 3-1 victory over Bani Yas on Monday in Abu Dhabi.
The result sees the 2010-11 Pro-League champions claim their first piece of silverware for the campaign, after they crashed out of the Emirates Cup at the semi-final stage, while in the league they currently sit in second spot but eight points behind leaders Al Ain with four games to play.
Al Jazira went ahead after just seven minutes through Australian defender Lucas Neill, but Bani Yas levelled just minutes after the half-time break thanks to Nawaf Mubarak s superb strike from 25 yards.
Bani Yas appeared in control in the second half before Brazilian striker Ricardo Oliveira scored on 72 minutes with a free-kick.

Adama Traore s late strike saw Tottenham stunned by Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday, as the north London side slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Molineux.
The Spain international netted in the 82nd minute, crashing his finish in off the crossbar after Fraser Forster had parried Raul Jimenez s shot towards him.
Traore s goal condemned the visitors to back-to-back defeats under temporary boss Cristian Stellini, after their shock FA Cup exit to Sheffield United on Wednesday.
But while Antonio Conte will return to a side in disarray, opposite number Julen Lopetegui will delight in a big result that provides a major boost to his team s top-flight survival bid.
THREE BIG POINTS AT MOLINEUX!

We will have to see, but he will be back with the rest of the players soon.
