Palermo defender Andrea Barzagli has astonishingly snubbed hometown team Fiorentina to join Cristian Zaccardo at German side Wolfsburg.
The talented stopper had made it clear that he would leave the Stadio Renzo Barbera this summer and had been in talks with Fiorentina – the team he supported in his childhood.
However, the Viola didn’t match his financial demands and he has been lured to join fellow stopper Zaccardo at Wolfsburg.
‘I am happy with my choice,” he said on Fiorentina.it.
“I will talk about my negotiations with Fiorentina a little further down the line when everything is calm.”
Barzagli’s agent Claudio Orlandini insists that Fiorentina were at fault for the breakdown in negotiations with Barzagli.
“Only a Florentine native like Andrea would have offered to accept half the offer that Wolfsburg made in order to wear the Gigliati shirt.
“He sent a clear message, but Fiorentina didn’t respond to that. Obviously I respect the club’s point of view and I wish them all the best.
“The difference between what we were asking and what they offered was minimal – it amounted to £100,000.
“Andrea was willing to give up a lot of money to play for Fiorentina, but they didn’t take our requests into consideration.”
