Yesterday Fiorentina defeated Sassuolo thanks to a brace from Nikola Kalinic. The future of the striker was one of the topics discussed by Andrea Della Valle who spoke at a Christmas party for the youth sector: “Kalinic is world class. Players like him can be the difference in any team. We have given him a 50 million buyout clause. We want to do this with all of our best players, starting with Bernardeschi. We are used to defending ourselves from half of Europe, and we want to talk about other things during January. Reinforcements? If I feel we need reinforcements, then we will make some purchases. Although at the moment, the team appears good as it is. Antognini’s return will be made official shortly because he currently has a contract with FIGC.”
He then spoke about Fiorentina’s future in Europa League and Serie A: “We have three very difficult games coming up, but we also have had a very good attitude this past month and can compete with anyone. The Europa League draw? It could have gone worse; there was also Manchester United. We will play to win against Borussia Mönchengladbach."
