Rocco Commisso has confirmed that Fiorentina will let Federico Chiesa leave ‘if he wants to go’ and denied offering him a new contract.
However, the Viola owner admits no such deal is on the table and that he is prepared to sell the forward for the right price.
“We had a meeting before Christmas if I’m not mistaken,” he told Radio Bruno Toscana.
“If he wants to go then I’m sorry, but we’d accommodate him, providing the offer is fair. We must also see what he’s worth.
“[His price] may have dropped since last year. It must suit everyone, although there’s a chance that he’ll stay.
“I haven’t offered Federico anything. There hasn’t been a proposal, it’s fake news. The important thing is that a player wants to stay.
“Many players have understood that Fiorentina are aiming high. I don’t want to put anything in Chiesa’s mouth, he’s a very good lad.
“We have a very good relationship and I want to keep him. I want to do the right thing for Fiorentina and, if he wants to go, we’ll accommodate him.”
The 70-year-old previously ruled out the prospect of selling his prized asset to Juventus…
“There’s Juventus, but there are also other teams in Europe.”
