Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has confirmed Mariano Gonzalez is returning from his loan at Inter Milan.
Zamparini said: "Mariano Gonzalez is a player which we like a lot. Of Inter's will to insert him in a deal for Chivu, I do not know anything. Inter have not said anything to me and whoever wants Gonzalez must know that we would not consider anything less than £3.5 million.
"However, we want to keep him with the Rosanero."
