The agent of Cristian Tello insists Fiorentina will be able to afford the forward’s clause for a permanent transfer from Barcelona in the summer.
Tello has featured in all-but-one of Fiorentina’s Serie A matches this season, yet the Barca loanee has been linked with a January move to Marselle, whose sporting director is former Blaugrana man Andrei Zubizarreta.
Nonetheless, Josep Maria Orobitg told Fichajes.com: “Fiorentina have an affordable purchase option for Tello.

“We don’t know if it’ll be exercised by the Viola, but his contract is with Barcelona and Zubizarreta knows him well: he was the one who signed him.
“If the lad was to have a good year in Florence, Barcelona could take him back and then try to sell him elsewhere for a higher price, but I think it’s unlikely at the moment.”
