Adrián Bernabé could leave Parma on a free this summer
Valued at around 25 million in the summer, he turns 26 in January while Gilardino pushes for a new deal before the break.
The future of Adrián Bernabé at Parma is getting complicated. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the player is close to being able to leave on a free transfer when his contract runs out. Over the summer the club valued him at around 25 million, but a departure without a fee is now a real possibility.
His relationship with coach Cuesta never really clicked. Bernabé felt he was being deployed out of position, and although he puts himself at the manager's disposal, he was blunt about it: that is not his role. He is used to playing in several areas, but he was not happy with how he was being used.
Gilardino, on the other hand, wants to keep him and has suggested extending his contract, though he admits it will not be easy. He recalls that the player had surgery this summer, a decision the club made to look after him ahead of a demanding schedule, and hopes to meet his agent before the break to negotiate.
