Mutu To Milan?

La Viola are currently sweating over Adrian Mutu's future at the club as they still haven't managed to renew the player's current deal.

Reports in Italy claim that Mutu is demanding too high a wage packet which could see the Viola refuse to succumb to his demands and ultimately see him put up for sale.

Milan and Schalke have been linked with the hit-man. The Rossoneri are desperate for a striker but Braida insists is that Mutu is not the answer they are looking for to solve their striking conundrums.

“Lets forget about all these rumours, they are all ridiculous and there is nothing true about them,” Braida told Fiorenzaviola.it.

Milan are currently in the process of trying to lure Emanuel Adebayor from Arsenal but so far any progress seems to have stalled as the Gunners play hard ball over their Togolese striker.

Thanks Viola Fans

The Viola held out to pip Milan to the all important fourth place finish which they had been working so hard to achieve all season. Della Valle insists that all their hard work over the course of the season has finally paid dividends.

“Fiorentina reached an important objective on Sunday after working hard for so many years,” Della Valle told the club’s official website.

“Now we have to work for the immediate future and look ahead to achieving greater things.

“There have been many sacrifices and many years of satisfaction and I believe we have given our fans something back by achieving what we have this season.

“We would like to show our gratitude to the tifosi who have stood by us for the past six or seven years.”

The Viola will be looking to continue their decent run and they are currently preparing to bring in some new faces in order to be more competitive next season.

Liverani Is Angry

The 1-1 draw against Villarreal, with the Spanish side equalizing in the final seconds of the match, did not go down too well with Fiorentina and especially Fabio Liverani, who still applauded the team's overall performance.

"I did my best to help the team," commented at the end of the game the former Lazio player. "I fought on every ball. There was the desire to do well also against a team who has the ball possession as its best weapon.

"We also scored at least two regular goals," he said referring to the goal disallowed to Adrian Mutu. "We were able to control the entire game, pity about the result.

"Playing every three days is not easy for anyone, but Fiorentina has the right pace both in the league and in the Cup," concluded Liverani.
