Fiorentina director Daniele Pradè assures Federico Chiesa, Gaetano Castrovilli or any of the other Viola stars ‘have not asked to leave.’

The transfer speculation has been dragging on for months already, with Juventus and Inter leading the way.

“If any player wants to leave, then he can come to us and we’ll talk about it,” Pradè told Rai Sport.

“As of today, nobody has asked to leave. Chiesa, for example, is a player the club appreciates very much, but you need two parties to reach an agreement and it depends on him.

“What we want is for Fiorentina to become a point of arrival and not a stepping stone. We spent €70m in January to sign two players for next season, like Christian Kouame and Sofyan Amrabat, so that sent an important signal.”

Castrovilli, Dusan Vlahovic and Patrick Cutrone are also linked with a potential exit from the Stadio Franchi.

“All the players we have now, we wish to keep,” continued Pradè. “Castrovilli is a modern midfielder, who plays with his head held high. It’s a pleasure for us to think we can see him with the Number 10 jersey on his back and he represents a key point of the Fiorentina of the future.”

President Rocco Commisso has refused to confirm or deny his position on coach Beppe Iachini, who replaced Vincenzo Montella in December.

“We are happy with the work he is doing and repeat that he is our coach, we’ll see out the remaining 12 games of the season and then we’ll see. Beppe is an intelligent man, so he understands the situation too.”
