"Obviously I don't like the situation that has been created because there are no problems at Palermo with the Coach nor with my teammates.

"As long as I have the opportunity to stay here, I will work with the same commitment as always.

"It takes two people to make a marriage in football. Often it's not your fault if it gets interrupted.

"Being a nice guy in football counts for little, but I am used to these situations.

"There are many clubs that want me, clubs that have shown confidence in me and I will make a definitive decision shortly."

Tuttosport understands Bologna have come forward with an offer.

Alberto Malesani is said to be very keen to partner Maccarone with Marco Di Vaio.
