Reports from Italy indicate that Fiorentina have signed Azzurrini midfielder Antonio Nocerino from Juventus in a co-ownership deal.
The 22-year-old spent last season in Serie B with Piacenza and impressed sufficiently at the Stadio Garilli to earn the call back to Turin.
Juve bought out the Papaveri’s share in the ex-Genoa man for around £250,000 just last month and it appeared he may start the season in Claudio Ranieri’s squad.
However, the Old Lady seem to feel that Nocerino needs more top-flight experience before he can wear the Bianconeri jersey and are prepared to do without him this term.
Fiorentina are believed to have paid £3m for a 50 per cent share of the young star with an official announcement expected shortly.
It is suspected that this acquisition may be the result of the Viola’s frustration at an unsuccesful bid to lure Arsenal’s Freddie Ljungberg.
