Gabriel Batistuta admits he could end his career in Serie C1 with old club Fiorentina after failing to find a Premiership side.
The Argentine hitman was a symbol for the Viola during the 1990’s and the fans even created a statue to commemorate his exploits inside the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
His contract with Inter expires in the summer and a move to London was planned, but Batistuta is said to be disappointed with offers from Fulham, Charlton and Tottenham.
It is now possible the World Cup star will return to his roots with Florentia Viola, who this week bought back the name ‘Fiorentina’ and the club symbol from the bankrupt AC Fiorentina.
Batigol told ‘La Fiorentina’ that he would take the opportunity of Monday’s showcase friendly between the Serie C side and a selection of old Viola glories from 1996 – Coached by Claudio Ranieri – to hold talks over a possible move.
There are offers from overseas to tempt him away as a club in Quatar has written out a two-year contract worth £10m per season.
Meanwhile, ex-Fiorentina President Vittorio Cecchi Gori has announced plans to make a film of his time with the club.
Cecchi Gori owns a large cinema chain and production company and plans to make the movie himself.
“I will explain everything that happened to me,” he said at the Cannes Film Festival, “and will name names, always sticking with the truth.”
Cecchi Gori could not cover debts that reached £100m at one stage and saw Fiorentina declared bankrupt.
The new club created by Diego Della Valle was set up last summer and earned immediate promotion into Serie C1.
