Miccoli snubs Juve return Monday 17 January, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiorentina striker Fabrizio Miccoli doesn’t want to go back to Juventus at the end of the season.
The player, currently on loan from the Bianconeri, was told he was surplus to requirements in Turin by Fabio Capello in the summer.
But Miccoli hasn’t looked back since moving to the Viola and has now pledged his future to the outfit.
"I want to stay in Florence, this is the right place for me," he said. "The squad is in a state of continual evolution and the owners are very ambitious.
"I settled in almost straight away when I arrived. It’s a beautiful city and the fans are warm and passionate. Basically there are all the ingredients here for success."
Juve turned their back on Miccoli after keeping faith with Alessandro Del Piero and given the acquisition of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina are underlining their ambition after they were today linked with some major transfer targets.
Valencia forward Bernardo Corradi could join on loan, while Czech ace Milan Baros may be made available by Liverpool.
The latter could be sold after the Anfield outfit signed Fernando Morientes from Real Madrid last week.
