Manchester City striker Valeri Bojinov is close to moving to promoted Serie A side Parma.

FOOTBALL 2008 Manchester City Valeri Bojinov - 0

Bojinov has become surplus to requirements at City following a hectic summer of transfer activity that has seen fellow strikers Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez arrive at Eastlands.

"The national team is very important for me," said 23-year-old Bojinov. "But to be in the national team you need matches. That's why I decided to move to Parma."

With Parma in need of a forward after selling Cristiano Lucarelli back to Livorno, club president Tomasso Ghirardi is hopeful of doing a deal.

"We are almost there," Ghirardi said.

"We are ready to seal a deal with the Bulgarian and it should go through very soon.

"With his arrival, we will complete the squad and let us hope we will have a good season and possibly have a bit of good luck on our side."

Bojinov's time with City has been plagued by injury, and he has only made 11 appearances since joining from Fiorentina two years ago.
