Fiorentina have released a statement affirming that winger Federico Chiesa will remain at the club next season.

Chiesa had been in the middle of a alleged transfer tug-of-war between Inter and Juventus, but Fiorentina insist the 21-year-old will be a ‘symbol’ of the new-look Viola.

“We have read continuous news about Chiesa’s future and where he will play next season,” the statement read.

“The current owners would like to point out that Federico is a Fiorentina player, linked to the club by a long contract, and therefore, as far as we are concerned, Chiesa will play in Florence next season.

“He must be a symbolic player for the team we are building.”

The Italy international scored 12 goals and provided nine assists in 41 appearances last season.
