Amelia to make move abroad

Livorno goalkeeper Marco Amelia looks set to move abroad with several Premiership and La Liga sides reportedly interested in the Italian international. Aston Villa are reportedly interested in landing the keeper.

His agent has admitted that he is likely to move abroad after Palermo - a club linked with Amelia - swooped for Christian Abbiati.

“Amelia is divided between going abroad or staying in Italy,” agent Carlo Pallavicino told Radio Kiss Kiss Naples.

“There are English, Spanish and French clubs that are interested in him, but Marco is still harbouring a hope of an Italian transfer.

‘However, undoubtedly Palermo’s swoop for Christian Abbiati has ruled out a move to an important team that had been chasing him for a while.

“Atletico Madrid and Valencia are ahead in the battle for his services, but he would run to Roma if they ever made an offer.”
