Gilardino rules out Fiorentina exit

Italy international Alberto Gilardino insists he has no plans of leaving Fiorentina this summer.

Gilardino has been linked with several clubs, including Manchester City and Marseille, this summer.

“I’m very happy here and I have a three-year contract with Fiorentina, ” the 28-year-old frontman told Corriere dello Sport.

“The rumours are just words. If a club really wants a player, they will move in silence and take him. This has not happened, not with Juventus,  Napoli  or Manchester City.

“(Marseille coach Didier) Deschamps is the only one who has expressed an interest in me, but maybe that is because he knows me well.

“He is set to play in the Champions League  and is looking for a new attacker, but I feel great in Florence and I want to win things here.”
