Colombian forward Luis Muriel has landed in Italy and commented on his new adventure with Fiorentina: "I am really happy to be here. I gave my word to Corvino. I can't wait to get on the field. It is nice to return to Italy and it is a league that I know well."
Murield arrived at Fiorentina on a paid loan with an option to buy. They beat out the competition from Milan, who found a deal with Sevilla. Regardless, the player wanted to respect the word given to Fiorentina, who were the first to show interest. This is a return for Muriel in Serie A, who played with Lecce, Udinese and Sampdoria. He will have his first training session with his new club on Saturday.
