Palermo vice-president Guglielmo Micciche admits they're being priced out of a deal for Fiorentina striker Giampaolo Pazzini.

"Pazzini is the impossible dream of many Serie A sides and three or four foreign clubs," Micciche told TGS.

"He is without a doubt a young player of great quality. He did very well at Atalanta and is doing good things in Florence.

"But at Palermo we are always careful in the transfer market. The player is very expensive and I think it would be difficult for him to arrive here."
