It was surprisingly announced yesterday that the two clubs had come to an agreement for the midfielder, and he officially joined today after passing his medical.

“It seems easy to say goodbye,” Benassi wrote on his Instagram profile.

“But saying goodbye is difficult, especially when you’re work a shirt like the Granata one with pride and respect, when you feel welcomed by an extraordinary fanbase, when you feel at home and part of a family.

“It’s even more so when time, life and circumstance lead you to make difficult choices, inevitable choices.

“Thank you all, Toro is and will be a part of me forever.

“Now a new adventure awaits me, and I’ll go with the humility and desire to to prove myself. I’m honoured and excited to play for Fiorentina!”
