Marchionni close to Viola


Fiorentina have just about signed 50 per cent of Juventus winger Marco Marchionni, according to the Italian Press.

The 28-year-old former Parma starlet was rumoured to be part of a swap deal for Manuel Pasqual.

However, it seems Juventus will receive £2.5m for Marchionni and nothing else.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina are still waiting for a reply from Real Madrid to see if their bid for Royston Drenthe has been successful.

The Viola expect the deal to be put to bed at the beginning of next week.

In other news, Fiorentina have sold 50 per cent of Arturo Lupoli to Ascoli.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan with Sheffield United.
