OFFICIAL: Fiorentina Sign Cristiano Zanetti From Juventus

Fiorentina have confirmed on their official website that they have signed Juventus midfielder Cristiano Zanetti..

This follows remarks from Zanetti's agent, Carlo Pallavicino, earlier this morning where he confirmed that a deal had been done.
“Fiorentina have got him. The two clubs have an agreement, so does the player," Pallavicino told Violanews.
“I can say this is a good signing for the Tuscans, seeing as I am certain Cristiano is 100 per cent fit and can give a big hand to the Viola.”

The 32-year-old Zanetti, who started his career with the Viola, returns to the Artemio Franchi for a fee of around €2 million and is believed to have signed a three-year deal.

Varying media reports in Italy suggest that the former Italy international will pen a pay-as-you-play deal with the Champions League contenders, and he will be registered by Fiorentina to play in the play-off round against Sporting next week.

Agent confirms Zanetti-Viola deal

Cristiano Zanetti's agent has confirmed the Juventus midfielder is heading to Fiorentina on a three-year contract.
“Fiorentina have got him,” said Carlo Pallavicino on violanews. “The two clubs have an agreement, so does the player.
“I can say this is a good signing for the Tuscans, seeing as I am certain Cristiano is 100 per cent fit and can give a big hand to the Viola.”
It is believed Juventus will receive £1.5m for the 32-year-old and the transfer will be completed later today.

Zanetti started his career in Tuscany and makes his return here, accepting a large pay cut from his current £2m wages at Juve.
Reports state he'll sign a three-year contract worth just £1m per season and will be registered for the Champions League preliminary round against Sporting Lisbon.

Other newspaper claims in La Nazione suggest a pay-as-you-play contract linked to the number of appearances he makes for the Viola.

Juventus’ Decision To Sell Cristiano Zanetti To Fiorentina Is Unexplainable – Carlo Nesti

With Fiorentina on the verge of completing the signing of Juventus midfielder Cristiano Zanetti, Italian football expert Carlo Nesti has announced his incomprehension at the Old Lady’s latest move.

Following a recent discussion on his very own Nesti Channel, the famed journalist outlined how the move could come back to haunt the Bianconeri.

“I am completely taken aback by Zanetti’s sale to Fiorentina,” he declared.

“Whilst it is true that [Juve coach Ciro] Ferrara wants to use the diamond midfield this season, Zanetti was still the ideal replacement for Felipe Melo.

"Added to the fact that Momo Sissoko is set to sit out for at least two months, it seems strange to let Zanetti leave given the circumstances.”

As negotiations are set to be completed in the next 24 hours, it remains to be seen how Zanetti’s departure will affect Juventus over the course of the season.

Juventus Pondering Swoop For Real Madrid’s Fernando Gago

With Cristiano Zanetti expected to complete his switch to Fiorentina in the coming hours, it seems Juventus already have their next transfer move lined up.

According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Alessio Secco is preparing to fly to Spain in a mission that would see the transfer chief bring back Fernando Gago from Real Madrid.

With the Argentine still uncertain of his position with Los Merengues following the club's intense summer spending, it seems the Bianconeri could be on for a good deal if they can convince the player into a switch.

With Momo Sissoko set to sit out through injury for at least two months, the Turin giants aren’t leaving anything to chance as they search for cover in midfield in light of Zanetti’s imminent departure to Florence.

Juventus youngster Lorenzo Ariaudo - wanted man

With a number of Italian clubs still desperately searching for a centre-back ahead of the imminent season, one or two are now setting their sights on Juventus youngster Lorenzo Ariaudo.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the talented youngster could well become a protagonist of the last minute transfer market, should Juventus decide to send him out on loan so he can gain valuable experience elsewhere.
With Juve very unlikely to sell Ariaudo outright, Bari and Reggina have reportedly made enquiries about bringing in the youngster on a loan deal, promising the young star a much bigger role than anything he could hope to get with the Turin giants.
As Juventus continue to consider the options for the young star, who featured in the Champions League last season against Artmedia, it is almost certain that the Old Lady won’t let their boy go unless they really have to.

Camoranesi apologies to fans

Following Juventus’s shocking 4-1 defeat to Villarreal, Mauro Camoranesi has apologised to the Bianconeri supporters.

“We need to send apologies to our fans who were at the ground,” explained the Italian international.
“Losing in this way hurts, although this was just a friendly, which will help us understand many things.
“In Italy there are no teams which play the same way as Villarreal. They did cause us lots of troubles and we usually struggle against Spanish sides.
“With Real Madrid and Sevilla it was very different. Anyway, these games count for nothing it will be important to win in Serie A and the Champions League.”

Regarding the new formation adopted by Ciro Ferrara, the former Verona boy explains how he suits it.

“I have played with the trequartista all my life so it is no problem for me. I learnt to play 4-4-2 in Italy but the 4-3-1-2 strategy is good for me.
“This summer we strengthened the squad significantly. This club will return to success because it has quality and talented youngsters. It will be either this year or the next.
“There are several players here who will help us starting a new winning era.”

Cristiano Zanetti to Fiorentina ?

With recent reports suggesting Christian Poulsen could remain with the Bianconeri, it seems the Viola are turning their attentions to Cristiano Zanetti as their search for a midfielder continues.
According to Datasport, the Turin giants have slammed a €2.5m price tag on the head of the former Roma midfielder. Given the professional relationship between the two clubs following Felipe Melo’s switch to Juve, it is believed Corvino has asked to take the 32 year old on a loan deal as Fiorentina look to invest funds elsewhere.
Unfortunately following the recent injury of Momo Sissoko, it seems an eventual swoop could only take place if the Viola are prepared to buy the player outright. Given Zanetti’s current wage package, he would certainly have to lower his income in order to secure a future with the Gigliati.

Chiellini: Juventus Cannot Play Like They Did Against Villarreal

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is not pleased with the 4-1 friendly loss to Villarreal. The player claims that his side were sorely lacking in the match on Friday.
"Unfortunately, we were found lacking in many areas. Distance between the players [on the field], positioning, brilliance," he mused to Tuttosport.
"We cannot reduce everything to fitness. I think that we were even influenced on a mental level, even unconsciously."
The heavy defeat may have cast some doubts ahead of the new season, but the former Fiorentina player is hopeful the Turin-based outfit can learn from their mistakes.
"[Coach Ciro Ferrara] righly said that Juventus cannot allow certain figures. A 4-1 defeat is not for Juve," he suggested.
"Of course we can reassure the fans. The fact remains we are working well. We are excited after the success against Real Madrid [in the Peace Cup] and will not let this influence us even now. What matters is that by the beginning of the championship, you will see a great Juve."

The 24-year-old has been included in Italy coach Marcello Lippi's squad for the friendly against Switzerland on August 12.
