Press whispers in Italy are suggesting that Livorno have set their sights on Los Angeles Galaxy winger Landon Donovan, and the Serie A new boys’ president, Aldo Spinelli, has revealed that talks with the player’s agent are already underway.
“We have spoken with his representative, but we have to understand what his requests are and whether we can afford him,” the outspoken chief told the media pack gathered outside the Lega Calcio headquarters.
“I know the lad since he was 18, I like him very much and even though his fee would not be a problem, I believe his wage demands exceed our parameters.
“But we could arrange something with some of our sponsors in Los Angeles, just like I did with [Kazuyoshi] Miura years ago, hoping it will bring us less bad luck…”
Spinelli signed Miura at Genoa in 1994, but the Japanese striker only netted a single goal for the Grifoni in 21 appearances.
Donovan could create an intriguing partnership with Cristiano Lucarelli in Tuscany, but the Labronici could lose star striker Alessandro Diamanti.
“He is our ‘diamond’ and we want to keep hold of him,” said Spinelli.
“But we have talked about him with Milan. We have an excellent rapport with the Rossoneri and we will see for next year or perhaps even this summer…”
