Parma chief Pietro Leonardi admits the future of Valeri Bojinov will depend on Manchester City.
The Bulgaria international has already declared he wants to turn his loan at Parma into a permanent deal.
But Leonardi says: "Bojinov? The situation is the same, we must try to understand what the other club wants to do. The lad, we know, feels a debt of gratitude towards us for having revived him after two years of inactivity."
