Bologna hopes to keep Diamanti

Diamanti, who scored the winning penalty for Italy in its shoot-out victory over England at EURO 2012 in Kiev, is a reported target of several top clubs in Europe.

The 29-year-old attacking midfielder was co-owned by Brescia and Bologna before the latter bought the player outright last weekend.

"Diamanti is a player that gives everything and it is likely that he will remain with us next season," Guaraldi told www.tutttomercatoweb.com.

The former West Ham player is under contract with Bologna until June 2016.

Guaraldi also revealed that coveted playmaker Gaston Ramirez could also remain at the club.

The Uruguay international joined Bologna from Penarol and is a reported target of Manchester City, Liverpool, Inter Milan and Juventus.

"I don't exclude that Ramirez could stay," Guaraldi said.

"We have had offers for him but he is worth at least 20million euros."

"If the right offer comes along then he could leave."

Ramirez, 21, scored eight goals in 33 league appearances last season to help the side finish ninth in Serie A standings.
