Agent: Almiron's staying with Viola
Monday 5 January, 2009

Juventus-owned midfielder Sergio Almiron won't be ending his loan spell at Fiorentina early, the Argentine's agent insists.

Almiron failed to settle in Turin after signing from Empoli in the summer of 2007 and was sent on loan to the Viola last summer.

But the 28-year-old hasn't impressed at the Stadio Artemio Franchi either and there have been rumours that he could look for another challenge.

“Almiron is tied to Fiorentina and the Viola don't want to part company with my client as far as I know,” agent Claudio Vagheggi told Violanews.

“We have received offers and several sides are interested, but we are not willing to negotiate.

“Sergio is a true professional and he knows that if he works hard and makes sacrifices then he will break into the first 11.

“He is eager to prove himself and to show the quality that he has and that's why it would be futile to listen to offers,” he concluded.
