Ivanovic 'wants Fiorentina'
Thursday 5 March, 2009

Peripheral Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has set his heart on a move to Fiorentina, according to his agent.

The Serbian international was a target for Milan and Juventus before he joined Chelsea from Spartak Moscow in January 2008 for just under £10m.

But Ivanovic has been almost invisible at Stamford Bridge and has grown frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities.

Fiorentina nearly secured the 25-year-old's signature back in January, but Chelsea called the move off at the last minute.

“Branislav wants to leave Chelsea,” agent Vlado Borozan is quoted as saying in The Sun.

“Fiorentina is his first choice at the moment and the fee will now be less than £10m.”

In order to complete a deal for Ivanovic it is important for the Viola to secure a fourth-placed finish and Champions League football for next season.
