After a few years without playing in European competitions,Fiorentina are closer than ever to qualify for Europa League. This season Fiorentina are exceding the expectation, lying in sixth position in Serie A with 42 points, 13 points behind the leaders Juventus.
Coach Vincenzo Montella hopes that his team will mantain current form and they will finish on a Europa League position, or even better on a Champions league one.
Despite signing Giuseppe Rossi this winter, and having quality strikers in the team like Stevan Jovetic or experienced forward Luca Toni, they intend to bring another forward to strengthen the team for next season.
Even if they have fourth attack in Serie A with 45 goals, Daniele Prade, the sportiv director declared that Fiorentina want to buy at least one striker and they are interested in Pablo Osvaldo from AS Roma and Fabio Borini from Liverpool.
With at least one of those two strikers they will want to fill the gap left by a possible departure of Stevan Jovetic.
The Montenegrin striker is in good shape and Fiorentina bosses know that it will be very difficult to keep him at the team, especially because there are some big clubs after him.
If Pablo Osvaldo from AS Roma could be more easy to brought as the Italian striker played at Fiorentina between 2007 and 2009, not the same thing can be said about Fabio Borini which was transferred from Roma to Liverpool at the start of this season for €13.3 mil.
Borini has not yet confirmed at Liverpool, perhaps because he not yet adapted to the Premier League style of play.People from Liverpool have not lost their confidence in the Italian striker and are expecting him to become an important player for Liverpool.
