Hamburger SV's new captain Tomas Ujfalusi has agreed to join newly-promoted Serie A club Fiorentina.
The deal was agreed on Friday after the player asked HSV to go: "I enjoyed my time here, but I have asked HSV to let me go. A childhood dream will become reality for me when I play in Italy, so it was a decision from the heart." Ujfalusi said this morning. "I would like to thank them for the many wonderful years here. Hamburg was great for me. I’m sure that the new team will make a big impact without me. I’m taking on a new challenge."
Oh his future in Florence, the 27-year-old said: "I am convinced that the team has the potential to play at the top of Serie A. Everything is in order there, you only get an offer like this one once in a lifetime."
HSV Sports Director, Dietmar Beiersdorfer promised a quick replacement for Ujfalusi: "Sportingly and humanly speaking, the loss of Tomas is a great loss for us, which we plan to compensate for as soon as possible. We will plough the transfer money back into the team."
