Nenad Tomovic looks forward to playing in a variety of roles for Fiorentina, and denies links with Torino.

The defender renewed his contract with the Gigliati in January this year, but there are rumours that he could still be sold.

“I started out as a central defender within a four-man defence,” said Tomovic in today's Press conference. “But ever since I came to Italy I've often been employed as a right-back. Lately I find myself at ease also in a three-man defence. I think my flexibility can be useful to the team.

The defender renewed his contract with the Gigliati in January this year, but there are rumours that he could still be sold.

“I started out as a central defender within a four-man defence,” said Tomovic in today's Press conference. “But ever since I came to Italy I've often been employed as a right-back. Lately I find myself at ease also in a three-man defence. I think my flexibility can be useful to the team.

“I haven't discussed a move with Fiorentina, nor with Torino or with my agent. For the moment it's just rumours.

“I renewed my contract with Fiorentina only a few months ago and I intend to stay here. I'm pleased that other clubs have been thinking about me, [Sinisa] Mihajlovic is a Coach that I know and admire, but I'm focused only on the Viola.”

Tomovic was then asked about Fiorentina's last season, in which they failed to nab Champions League qualification.

“I couldn't evaluate myself, but I played in three different roles and I think I did all right. But that's for the Coach and the club to judge.

“The team had its ups and downs, we must improve [our consistency]. We started out wonderfully, but then the market influenced us all.

“People were talking about it too much and maybe that explains our decline. This year we want the pitch to do all the talking.

“For my own part, I don't feel like a leader, but considering my experience, I feel like I can help out the younger players.

“I speak little and I work hard. I like it when my younger teammates make use of my advice on the pitch.”
