Donadoni set on Parma stay
Parma coach Roberto Donadoni has released an official statement confirming he will remain with the club despite interest from elsewhere.

It read: "I confirm once more so as to avoid any misunderstandings that I am staying at Parma.

Higuain: I have decided to leave Real Madrid
Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain has confirmed that he wishes to leave the club when the transfer window reopens.
The Argentina international was named stand-in captain as Jose Mourinho's men rounded off the 2012-13 campaign with a 4-2 home victory over Osasuna on Saturday.
He opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a well-taken finish, and played the entirety of the match as Real took the win courtesy of a flurry of late goals.
Mourinho had already announced that he would depart the Santiago Bernabeu after the final Liga game of the season, but it now appears that he will be joined by Higuain - who has revealed he has had offers from other clubs.

La Liga: Barcelona 4:1 Malaga
La Liga champions Barcelona matched Real Madrid’s record total of 100 points with a comfortable 4-1 win over Malaga at Camp Nou on Saturday.
The record - set by Madrid last season - was equalled by Tito Vilanova’s side with another convincing win, which helped Barca finish the season 15 points ahead of their arch-rivals.
Early strikes from David Villa, Cesc Fabregas, and Martin Montoya gave Barcelona a comfortable 3-0 lead at the break, and Andres Iniesta had already put the result beyond doubt before Pedro Morales pulled one back for Malaga.
Carlos Puyol remained sidelined with a knee problem, while Lionel Messi was not risked as he continues his recovery from a hamstring strain.

La Liga: Real Madrid 4:2 Osasuna
Jose Mourinho waved goodbye to Real Madrid with a 4-2 victory over Osasuna in his final game in charge at the Bernabeu on Saturday.
Mourinho became the first manager in La Liga history to coach a team that has scored more than 100 goals in a season three times, following first-half efforts from Gonzalo Higuain and Michael Essien.
Osasuna managed to pull two goals back through Roberto Torres and Alvaro Cejudo after the break but Karim Benzema and Jose Callejon struck to give the Portuguese coach three points as he bid farewell to the Madrid fans.
Madrid were far from full strength for their final fixture, as Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos all missed out due to injury.

Napoli president keen to buy English club
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has outlined his ambition to buy an English club in the near future.
The Italian, who made his fortune as a film producer before taking control of the Naples side in 2004, reportedly told Radio Marte: "I want to expand my football empire.
"I want to buy three clubs, including one in England, so I asked (former Napoli manager) Edy Reja if he would be willing to be the coach and he said he’s available."
Championship outfit Watford benefited from a similar ownership setup this term as they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League by virtue of a play-off final defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
