Parma: ‘If Benevento want Gervinho…’

Parma director Daniele Faggiano warns that if Benevento want to sign Gervinho, ‘they have to ask us and see if he wants to go.’

Pippo Inzaghi’s Benevento secured promotion with an unprecedented 20-point advantage over second place in Serie B and are already preparing for life in the top flight next season.

Loic Remy had arrived as a free agent from Lille, but failed a medical with the Lega Serie A, so Gervinho is next on their wish-list.

Loic Remy had arrived as a free agent from Lille, but failed a medical with the Lega Serie A, so Gervinho is next on their wish-list.

“Gervinho is a Parma player and we’d like to keep him to the end of his contact, which is not in 2021 as I saw reported, but in 2022,” Parma director of sport Faggiano told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“If Benevento want him, they’ll have to ask us and see if Gervinho wants to go there as well.”

The 33-year-old Ivorian has scored nine goals with four assists in 29 competitive games for Parma this season, between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
