Tomas Ujfalusi is no longer a Fiorentina player and has received a warm tribute on the club’s official website.
The Czech international is headed for Spain after deciding not to renew his contract, which expires this summer.
In a four-year spell at the club since arriving from Hamburg, the 30-year-old became a cult figure at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and left on a high after securing Champions League qualification on Sunday.
“Sunday was Ujfalusi’s last game in a Fiorentina shirt and the club would like to remember the valuable contribution that this extraordinary player and great man has made over these four years,” a message on the Gigliati’s website reads.
“We have experienced some great times with him in the side and some times that we will never forget.
“Ufo played 149 games in the Viola shirt and often sacrificed himself for the good of the team. He was always the first one to make himself felt in difficult moments.
“On the day that he officially leaves, Fiorentina would like to demonstrate their gratitude to Ufo and wish him all the very best for his future.
“He is a man whose qualities will be appreciated wherever he goes. Thanks Tomas, thanks again and good luck!”
Atletico Madrid are favourites to secure Ujfalusi’s signature, but Sevilla had talks with him earlier in the year and are still in the frame.
