da leao: Champions League hopefuls Palermo have confirmed that they are keen to try and tempt West Ham United midfielder Valon Behrami to return to Italy in the summer.
da spicy bet: The 24-year-old Switzerland international joined the Hammers in the summer of 2008 from Lazio and has since scored three times in 51 appearances for the Irons.
Behrami, however, continues to be linked with a return to Serie A, with a number of clubs reported to be showing an interest.
Palermo's sporting director Walter Sabatini told TRM:"I understand that the British press are keen to report the Palermo interest in Behrami, because of the contacts made in January, but at present there is no open discussion.
"Behrami is a player we like, I like him very much. Our coach (former Lazio boss Delio Rossi) knows him well, as he helped him to grow and he also likes him.
"At the moment there is nothing, in the sense that nothing is concrete, but Behrami is a player we like."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
