Fabio Borini

[Kostas 1,468]

So much for having the next Pippo..and 500k isn't that much either.

Oh well hope he'll do something with his career.

[Steve 10,227]

He deserves a move. Hes such a good young talent and knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. But he is not getting the chances he deserves.

[zolayes 14,489]

we should put in buy back options clauses...to players we sell ..of course borini soon out of contract

[Badboy 1,526]

This is sad but with a young quick goal scorer in danny sturridge ahead of him he was always going to struggle, this will be Crespo's last season so Borini has a big chance to make it in Italy.

Fucking Chelsea transfer policy.We sell all young talents in the club

I understand this one. He's not getting his chances, he's not signing a new contract. Instead of letting him leave for free in summer, may as well make a profit off him.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

To be honest, I thought there was a good chance he would not cut in the PL, modern day strikers tend to need more traits and skills rather then goalpoaching. Italy is much more friendly to these types of players.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Very sad to here that he will be leaving, even more so for the amount!

I wish him all the best back i his native land, and maybe we can see him become what he has the potential to be. Hopefully, this could mean that Marko Mitrovic steps up to take the role he should have gotten.

Fabio Borini's agent believes Parma are the 'ideal solution' as the striker prepares to leave Chelsea.

"The transfer to Parma is not official yet, but the situation is well advanced with the Gialloblu," De Marchi told Radio Mana Mana.

"In recent months, there was interest in the boy from Lazio and Roma, but Parma have advanced things.

"Despite the esteem Ancelotti has for him, when an agreement with Chelsea wasn't reached to renew his contract, it was decided to find a different solution.

"Fabio needs a reality that allows him to make the most of his quality, a club with a very specific technical project and Parma, in this sense, is the ideal solution.

"In the coming days there will be meetings to define the situation."

So it all came down to contract negotiations.. Why doesn't that surprise me - Politics.

No Blues talks for Borini

skysports.com

Fabio Borini's agent claims Chelsea are yet to offer his client a new deal, paving the way for a summer exit.

The 19-year-old striker has been on the books at Stamford Bridge since 2007, forming part of the Blues' academy system.

He was billed as a potential star of the future upon his arrival, but is yet to force his way into the first-team picture on a regular basis.

Despite being an Italy U21 international, the teenager has been restricted to just a handful of senior outings for Chelsea.

That has opened the door to potential suitors, with the Blues yet to make a definitive decision on the youngster's future.

Borini's representative believes time may have now run out, with speculation regarding a return to his homeland mounting by the day.

"Fabio is fine, he has recovered from injury and is available again," Marco De Marchi told Itasportpress.it.

"He has been playing in Chelsea's reserve team and doing well.

"His contract will expire on 30th June and I don't know anything about a possible renewal. I have not spoken to anyone at Chelsea.

"Negotiations about a move to Parma? In January the two clubs couldn't reach an agreement, but Parma are still interested. Talks could resume in the summer.

"He is a striker that is tempting many clubs because managers appreciate not only his physical attributes, but also his character.

"There are many clubs interested in him - in Italy, England and all over the world.

"At the moment it is too early to say what will happen. We will have to wait and see what happens over the coming months."

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Feel sorry for the boy more than anyone. He knows Ancelotti vouches for him, yet he is not allowed to be played. Hope it's not too damaging for his development.

[Peace. 4,352]

Such a shame... No wonder that our youth record is poor, when we have good talents we forbid them to play...

[zolayes 14,489]

seems he might still have a future with us ...otherwise why would we be playing him in the reserves?

[Kostas 1,468]

There's nothing to be sorry about. It's a contract dispute and he'll have the chance to keep training with the very best until he joins Parma (?) for free.

[Kostas 1,468]

Apparently he'll join Swansea on loan

[NattyBlue 44]

^ Heard Swansea are waiting to sign him outright in the summer as well though

My link

[Kostas 1,468]

I'll be surprised if he ends up in Wales. Can Swansea even afford his wages?

[zolayes 14,489]

I think this loan is a sign that we WILL renew his contract
