Parma president Tommaso Ghirardi is determined to keep star striker Alberto Paloschi.

The Italy U21 ace has been linked with former club AC Milan as a replacement for Dutch flop Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

However, after Saturday's defeat to the Rossoneri, Ghirardi insisted: "I want to keep Paloschi. He is very important for our plans."

The Parma supremo also had praise for Milan's two-goal hero Marco Borriello: "I know Borriello. He's a good guy and I'm happy for him."
