However, the striker has claimed that, despite playing less than he’d like, he’s happy at Ennio Tardini.
“It’s true that I have struggled,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport. “The Coach makes choices and you have to respect them.
“It is not in my nature to give up. I have always worked hard, and I knew sooner or later my chance would come.
“I’ve heard some strange talk, but the truth is that Cassano and I are perfectly fine. I am a Brazilian with an Italian passport, he is an Italian with Brazilian feet.
“I’ve read the stories about Botafogo, but I don’t care about them. I’m a Sao Paulo fan anyway!
“I want to stay at Parma and I hope to finish my career here.”
