Manchester United youngster Federico Macheda is unlikely to join Parma this January, with any move he does make likely to be within England.
The Rome-born striker has spent a number of spells away from Old Trafford on loan, most recently with Doncaster Rovers.
Speaking to Gazzetta.it, Macheda’s agent Giovanni Bia scuppered rumours linking his charge to a move to the Ducali.
“For now, the British club is asking for a lot of money, it would be difficult to move in January,” he admitted.
Though, he refused to close the door to a deal with the Crociati.
“Parma do not need a player with his attributes at the moment,” he said.
“For June, we’ll see. For now Federico does not mind the idea of continuing in Britain in a different shirt.”
Macheda has not played a league game for Manchester United since 2012, going on loan to four different clubs in that time instead.
