With the injury marred season nearing its end, the Italian international looks set to leave Villarreal in search of pastures greener in Italy or England.
A week in football is long, while a year can mean centuries. This time around last season, Villarreal fans were dancing in the stands as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027 led them to victories galore with his dazzling performances.
Fast forward the year, Villarreal have undergone two managerial changes and hover just outside the drop zone. On the other hand, their talisman faced an injury early in the season and has still not made a return.
With the disastrous season coming to an end, Rossi is tipped to exit El Madrigal in the summer transfer window.
Clubs across Europe have been alerted by the Italian star’s availability, with the likes of Manchester United, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Napoli, all interested in his services.
Despite the widespread interest, a transfer to native http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 looks on the cards with English clubs set to lose out on his services for the second time in his career.
Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli are the preferred destinations for the Italian striker, if agent, Federico Pastorello, is to be believed.
"Giuseppe has never hidden the fact that he dreams of playing for a top club. We consider http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 to be a top top club, but he would like to play in the Champions League. However, that doesn't necessarily mean he would turn down Inter even if they don't
qualify," the agent said while talking to Sky Sport.
A move to Napoli cannot be counted out as well, with the Argentine striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 looking for a move to the Premier League.
"Lavezzi going to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003.”
"I cannot rule out Rossi joining Napoli. After five years at Villarreal, I think that all parties are more susceptible to listening to the offers that arrive.
"We will see, but one thing is clear: Villarreal are open to selling Rossi, and the player is ready to leave the club."
Rossi is expected to vacate the number 9 jersey for a fee of around 20 million Euros, a stark decline from his 35 million Euros price tag last summer.
