Badelj ‘talks with various clubs’

Milan Badelj is “90 per cent unlikely to sign a contract renewal with Fiorentina,” said the Croatia international’s agent. “I am talking to various clubs.”

The midfielder has impressed at Euro 2016 and during the season in Serie A.

“Miki has another two years on his contract with Fiorentina, so the decision to keep him or not is down to the Viola,” agent Dejan Joksimovic told Pagine Romaniste.

The midfielder has impressed at Euro 2016 and during the season in Serie A.

“Miki has another two years on his contract with Fiorentina, so the decision to keep him or not is down to the Viola,” agent Dejan Joksimovic told Pagine Romaniste.

“There is no rush and his price-tag certainly will not drop over the next month. However, it’s 90 per cent unlikely he will sign a contract renewal with Fiorentina.

“The main reason is he wants to play in the Champions League. There are several clubs interested and they are offering contractual conditions that are MUCH more advantageous and substantial compared to what Fiorentina can give.

“So we’ll see what happens.”

Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti has never disguised his admiration for Badelj, especially after losing Miralem Pjanic to Juventus.

“I have not spoken to anyone at Roma so far,” continued his representative.

“Many players in the world would love to play at Roma and live in such a fantastic city, but at this moment I am talking to various clubs regarding the future of Badelj.

“Roma are not among them. For the moment, anyway.”
