Fiorentina to field Miccoli
Tuesday, 31 August 2004
Italian international striker Fabrizio Miccoli has moved to ACF Fiorentina after the Serie A newcomers paid €7m to purchase 50 per cent of his license from Juventus FC.
'A great gift'
The 25-year-old forward has signed a three-year contract with the Viola, having a fortnight ago won his third senior Italian cap in Iceland. "We have decided to give a great gift to Florence," said Fiorentina vice-president Diego Della Valle after the signing.
Well-trodden path
Miccoli, who moved to Turin from AC Perugia in summer 2003, is the third player to join Fiorentina from Juventus this close season after Enzo Maresca and Giorgio Chiellini. Fiorentina's first Serie A fixture as a reformed club is at AS Roma on 12 September.
