Juventus midfield flop Sergio Almiron is set to leave Turin for Fiorentina on loan with a deal likely to be announced in the next few hours.
The Argentine talent arrived at Juve from Empoli last summer but he didn’t settle in Piedmont and was sent on loan to Monaco for the final part of the season.
Claudio Ranieri still sees Almiron as surplus to requirements and is ready to let him leave for another year.
Argentine side River Plate had been in the frame for the 27-year-old’s signature but they couldn’t afford his wages.
And Fiorentina, who have been watching Almiron for a year, are ready to complete a long-awaited loan deal.
The Corriere dello Sport expects the Viola to pay around £300,000 for the midfielder’s services with the option to buy half his rights at the start of next summer.
“You can never be certain of things in football until they are black and white,” agent Claudio Vagheggi told Firenzeviola.it.
“But Almiron’s negotiations with Fiorentina are underway and a transfer is probable.”
