Amauri hopes to remain at Juventus after returning to the club this summer following a successful six-month loan spell at Parma.

Amauri, 31, has been linked with a move to Parma, AC Milan and Palermo, but his agent insists the player wants to stay in Turin and prove himself to new coach Antonio Conte.

“Amauri is currently in pre-season training with Juventus,” Giampiero Pocetta told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He is a proud man and he has every intention to prove his worth to new Juventus coach Antonio Conte.

“It’s nice to know that certain clubs like Parma have shown an interest in Amauri. But it is still premature to speak of Amauri’s possible future destination.”

Amauri scored seven goals in 11 league appearances to help Parma maintain their Serie A status. The Brazil-born player is under contract with Juve for a further season.

Parma have acquired half the sporting rights of Italian midfielder Sebastian Giovinco from Juventus.

Giovinco, 24, spent last season on loan at Parma from Juventus and enjoyed a solid campaign with the club.

“We officially announce to our fans that we have bought 50% of the sporting rights of Giovinco,” Parma president Tommaso Ghirardi said on the club’s official website. “I believe this is a great move for Parma.”

The deal, worth €3 million, will be welcomed by Giovinco, who had expressed his wish to continue with Parma next term. The talented winger scored seven goals in 30 league appearances for Parma last season.

Sebastian Giovinco’s agent claims that the midfielder will be at Parma next season, despite new Juventus coach Antonio Conte’s desire to bring him back to Turin.

Giovinco was on loan at Parma from the Old Lady last year, with an option to buy 50% of the player’s rights for a fee of €3.5 million included as part of the deal. Parma are expected to take up this option and now his agent has said he will be staying put for the time being.

“[Giovinco] has economic rights that are held in joint ownership. However, Parma hold the sporting rights to field him next season,” Andrea D’Amico told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“At the moment, the plan is to continue with Parma, unless there are any major breakthroughs between both clubs. For now, Sebastian will stay put. We all know that anything can happen in the transfer market, though, so we have to be cautious.”

Giovinco scored seven goals in 30 Serie A appearances for Parma last season and has been tipped as the player to haul Juventus back into contention for the Scudetto.
