Viola make new Blasi bid Monday 22 August, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiorentina have reportedly increased their offer to Juventus for combative midfielder Manuele Blasi.
The Viola have spent all summer looking for a new central midfielder and Blasi has been linked for some time.
Whispers suggest that the Tuscan side have made a £3.5m offer after Juventus rejected an earlier bid of £2.8m.
A deal could now be done before the end of the week even if the Turin giants value the Italian at around £4.5m.
The former Perugia youngster has been specifically requested by new Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli.
The latter worked with Blasi at Parma two seasons ago, before both left the Stadio Tardini in the summer of 2004.
Should Juventus sell Blasi, they are likely to make a move for Inter’s Cristiano Zanetti as a replacement.
