Fiorentina defender Stefan Savic was linked with Juventus, but now insists he just wants to beat them on Friday.
It kicks off at 19.45 GMT on Friday at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and is one of the biggest grudge matches in Italian football.
“Did Juve want me over the summer? I don’t know anything about that. I am thinking only of Fiorentina, as I have a contract until 2016 and a great rapport with the club,” stated Savic in a Press conference.
Fiorentina defender Stefan Savic was linked with Juventus, but now insists he just wants to beat them on Friday.
It kicks off at 19.45 GMT on Friday at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and is one of the biggest grudge matches in Italian football.
“Did Juve want me over the summer? I don’t know anything about that. I am thinking only of Fiorentina, as I have a contract until 2016 and a great rapport with the club,” stated Savic in a Press conference.
“We have already started talking about an extension and my agent is taking care of it.”
Future committed to the Viola, Savic would become a hero to fans if he scored the winner against the Bianconeri.
“It will be a very difficult match, as we all know how strong Juve are. They probably remain the best team in Italy.
“However, we are playing on home turf and we are strong too, so we’ll try to get a result. Don’t forget last season we were trailing 2-0 and turned the situation around to win 4-2.
“When Juve score two goals, they rarely concede four, but we did it.”
Andrea Pirlo netted the last-gasp winner in the Derby della Mole against Torino on Sunday, so how does Savic plan to deal with him?
“When Pirlo’s on a good day, there’s little you can do.”
