Bernardo Corradi is expected to be offloaded by Manchester City this summer.

The former Italian international wants to return home after a miserable 12 months at Eastlands which saw him score just two goals following his £2m arrival from Valencia.

Corradi's agent, Moreno Roggi, said: "I am 90 per cent certain Corradi will return to Serie A. He would be of real use to sides like Sampdoria, Parma and Torino - who all need a target man."
