Barzagli Wants Fiorentina, Palermo Forcing Him Towards Juventus - Agent
Andrea Barzagli's agent has revealed that the defender would move to Fiorentina immediately, if not for Palermo pushing him towards Juventus.
Barzagli's exit from Palermo is a near certainty following his blast at president Maurizio Zamparini over the treatment meted out to Eugenio Corini.
The defender had called it "absurd" and labelled it "the biggest mistake of Zamparini’s reign."
Immediately, Palermo sporting director Rino Foschi hinted at an exit.
"Andrea Barzagli seems willing to leave Palermo," he said. "After all, it’s better to have someone in your squad who is dedicated."
The player now wants to move to Fiorentina, but Palermo are pushing him towards Juventus, his agent has revealed.
"Fiorentina are now looking elsewhere for their reinforcements in defence, as Palermo have put obstacles in their path towards Andrea Barzagli, instead hoping to send him towards Juventus," said Claudio Orlandini.
"We have received offers from both Fiorentina and Juventus, so we just need to wait and see what Palermo make of the situation.
"If it’s up to him, Andrea would go to Fiorentina without a moment’s hesitation."
Juventus can offer Palermo one or two of their young players as a part of the deal, which is why the Sicilian club are keen to do business with the Old Lady. Fiorentina, meanwhile, have made a straight cash offer.
