Fiorentina chase Ribery

Italian club Fiorentina have targeted French winger Franck Ribery, the Tuscany club’s sporting director Daniele Prade confirmed on Sunday.

The 36-year-old former French international left Bayern Munich as a free agent at the end of last season after 12 seasons with the German giants.

“Ribery? We like him a lot, but like all the great players he is considering his options,” Prade said after Fiorentina’s 3-1 Coppa Italia third round win over Monza.

“We want him and would like to have him, but we cannot give tens of millions like the Arab or Russian teams.”
