Cicinho reveals Viola option

Fiorentina are on course to give their Champions League qualification hopes a boost with the arrival of Sao Paulo defender Cicinho, the player has revealed.
After finally securing an Italian passport last month, Cicinho signed a drawn-out five-year deal to join erstwhile Real Coach and fellow Brazilian Vanderlei Luxembourgo at Los Meringues.
However, with dramatic changes afoot at the Bernebeu since the recent sacking of Luxembourgo and the imminent departure of technical director Arrigo Sacchi, it seems that Real have been in talks with the Viola with a view to loaning their new acquisition to the Tuscan side as soon as he arrives in Spain this January.
"Fiorentina have contacted Real Madrid," said the full-back, speaking in Tokyo, where he is due to play in the FIFA World Club Championship tomorrow.
"I would never join a lesser club," he explained tellingly. "But if Fiorentina wanted me I would happily go there."
Whether any swap deal is likely remains the stuff of speculation, but Real have been linked with a move for the Gigliati’s very own Galactico, Luca Toni.
It is not totally inconceivable that the Spanish giants might be smoothing the way for a summer move for Serie A’s top scorer.
