Fiorentina is buying a substitute for Mutu

on July 20, 2011 None comments

Preparations for the big start in Serie A are on the last 100 meters. All the teams are struggling to catch the biggest fish in the pond. One of these teams is Fiorentina, a team that has great expectations about the season that is here to come.

After a hard season and the separation from their striker, Adrian Mutu, Fiorentina is ready to make a very important transfer for them. They want to bring Alberto Aquilani on Viola’s ground.

Alberto Aquilani (born 7 July 1984) is an Italian footballer who plays for Liverpool. He is also part of the Italian national team. Aquilani is a central midfielder, who can operate in a holding position or an attacking position in the hole behind the strikers.

The only thing with Aquilani that might be an obstacle in their plan is that the player is under contract with Liverpool until 2014.

Fiorentina’s midfielder, Behrami, said: ”The transfer would be a sensation, Alberto can bring fans back in the stands”

There is only one question remaining: if the transfer will take place, is he able to replace Adrian Mutu?

Fiorentina without Adrian Mutu

on April 27, 2011 None comments

Fiorentina is starting the Spring cleaning in the players rows. After a season with such small rate of success in all competitions, the Viola team wants to refresh the team and get rid of the players that don’t deserve to be in the team.
The first name on the transfer list that will go this summer will be Adrian Mutu.

And there are two reasons for this action:
– Its role will be taken back by the Montenegrin Stevan Jovetic, 21, considered the future star of the Viola team;
– In January, Fiorentina gave him the last chance, and he rewarded the club with many promises and few goals: only four. He has another year under contract with the Viola and the idea of staying sounds good for him, especially since the supporters love him. But if he feels unwanted, he will seek an alternative solution. So far, the offers come from outside Italy.

Statistics:
140 official matches played Adrian Mutu from Fiorentina;
69 goals (54 league, 4 in the Italian Cup, five in the Champions League, UEFA Cup 6)
played in Serie A at: Inter, Verona, Parma and Fiorentina
Will this measure help Fiorentina to make a comeback next season? Stay tuned!
