FLORENCE, Italy (AP) -- Striker Gabriel Batistuta, who's expected to lead Argentina's offence at the World Cup in France, confirmed published reports that Italian first-division Parma "and several other teams" are seeking him for the next season."Parma is not the only team courting me," Batistuta was quoted by Milan's Gazzetta dello Sport as saying.
