Inter collapsed in Palermo and lost Javier Zanetti to injury, but Fiorentina thrashed Samp to go third and there were some huge results in the relegation battle.
Inter have dismissed quotes attributed to director Marco Fassone who was said to have confirmed the captures of Diego Laxalt, Hugo Campagnaro, Marco Andreolli, Ruben Botta and Mauro Icardi.
Sampdoria boss Delio Rossi says he is ready to shake the hand of Adem Ljajic this weekend – the Fiorentina player who he punched on the touchline last season.
It was a spectacular afternoon in Serie A, as Fiorentina beat Torino 4-3, bottom of the table Pescara stalled Roma and the Sicilian Derby was decided with the last kick of the game.
