Bernardo Corradi

BERNADO Corradi looks set to seal a permanent move from Manchester City in the summer.

The Italian has been on loan at Parma this season after an unspectacular year at the City of Manchester Stadium.

He scored just three goals in the Premier League last term – prompting Sven-Goran Eriksson to sanction his return to Serie A when taking over in the summer.

And Corradi has rediscovered some of the form that made him one of the most exciting prospects in Italy earlier in his career – scoring five goals already for Parma, and being handed the captain’s armband.

It is unclear how much City would hope to recoup on the 31-year-old – but it seems certain he will not return to Eastlands.
