Amauri days away from Fiorentina
Wednesday January 11 2012Forgotten Juventus striker Amauri hopes to secure a move to Fiorentina within the next 48 hours.
The Viola have made an offer for the Brazilian-born Italian international and a switch could be imminent.
“There are these two voices about Roma and Fiorentina,” the former Chievo and Palermo man told TMW.
“Fiorentina are the side who want me more. I know that the clubs are talking in an effort to resolve the situation.
“We’ll just have to wait and see what happens over the next two days, even if I hope everything is sorted out before then.
“The problem is not my contract, it is the clubs who have to agree terms.”
It is understood that the striker, who hasn’t played for Juve this term, has accepted a €1.5m salary until 2014.
All that needs to be agreed now is the manner of the transfer between the two clubs. The Viola are trying to pay as little as possible given that the player has less than six months left on his Turin contract.

Fiorentina not being desperate has nothing to do with the player's will. Monto wants out, and if Marrotta asks for him, he could make a case for it in a situation like is. I think they're negotiating the amount right now, before agreeing terms. So the negotiation is about getting some sort of valuation in return. Fiorentina know they could lose Mont for nothing in June, so there's some leverage there. Its kind of like Roma asking for a player in return for Pizarro despite knowing he wants out and that they're not in control of the deal. The thing that's working against Marrotta is Amauri's will is perhaps even more than the clubs desperation to sell him, so the odds are stacked against us.
