Leeds United forward Mirco Antenucci will depart the club this summer, after not being offered a new deal at Elland Road.
The Italian was Leeds' second top scorer last season with nine goals behind New Zealander Chris Woods and was also nominated for the club's Player of the Year Award, but the Whites have decided that he will join a lengthy list of players allowed to leave including defender Scott Wooton and Tom Lynam.
The news that Antenucci will leave the club will kick-start a summer of rumours as to where the striker will end up. Sources in Italy claim that Hellas Verona are considering a move for the forward following their relegation from Serie A. Sky Italia have reported that Parma are weighing up a move for the 31-year-old.
Local reports suggest that Birmingham City could be making an approach for the former Torino man.
