| Vargas happy in Florence |

Peruvian full-back Manuel Vargas has denied rumours regarding a move to Fenerbahce and claimed he wants to win the Scudetto with Fiorentina.
The Florence club received a ludicrous offer from the Turkish side, in the region of £13m, and were considering selling their man due to his negative season at the Franchi.
“I know nothing about Fenerbahce,” Vargas told La Repubblica.
“I would like to continue playing for Fiorentina because my main target is to win Serie A one day.”
Vargas moved to Tuscany less than 12 months ago following an impressive season at Catania. He was an expensive signing, costing £10m to prise him from the Rossoblu.
Boss Cesare Prandelli has had to switch him to a left winger position as his performances in defence were way below expectations.
But now that the Gigliati are about to sign Royston Drenthe from Real Madrid, a similar type of player to Vargas, he is considered surplus and so the chance to make a profit out of the Peruvian is an appealing one for sporting director Pantaleo Corvino.
