The Croatian striker was believed to be close to a move to the Chinese Super League, but today declared that he has decided to stay with the Viola.
According to FirenzeViola, this game as a surprise to the Tuscan club, who are now in a difficult position.
The leadership don’t want to be seen to force Kalinic out, but an offer of around €40m would be very hard to reject.
According to Alfredo Pedulla and calciomercato.com, the striker’s agent, Tomislav Erceg, has arrived in Milan for talks with Fiorentina.
It’s therefore not clear if a move to China is completely off the table, but Kalinic will take some convincing.
To that end, intermediary Fali Ramadani is said to be heading to Florence to sell a Chinese move to the striker.
