Fiorentina Confident Over Mutu Stay

fount : goal.com



Mutu’s future at the Artemio Franchi has looked uncertain ever since reports claimed he demanded a massive increase in his salary.

The Viola were not too keen on meeting the striker’s demands and this lead to speculation he was on his way out.

Roma were on the verge of signing the player before Fiorentina stopped any deal from taking place by insisting the player was not for sale.

A meeting between both the club’s directors and the player is set to take place to bring an end to the unanswered questions surrounding Mutu’s future in Florence.

Mencucci believes that a deal will be reached and that the Romanian will be wearing the Fiorentina jersey next term.

“Mutu will not be leaving us and this was also revealed by president Della Valle,” said Mencucci.

Sportmediaset claims that Mutu wants to extend until 2013 but the club are only willing to extend his current deal, which expires in 2011, by one year.

Reports in Italy suggest that a deal between all parties will be reached by early next week if Mutu agrees to whatever Fiorentina lay on the plate.
