Milan Badelj nears Fiorentina exit

Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport has learned that Fiorentina midfielder Milan Badelj might not be staying at Artemio Franchi for much longer.

Namely, the Croatian footballer has decided to end talks over a new deal as he wants to evaluate all the offers that are likely to arrive in January,

Badelj will be out of contract at the end of the season, and everything suggests he will be leaving Viola on a free transfer.

The 28-year-old has been a target for AC Milan and he is certainly hoping the Rossoneri will step up their interest in January.

It is hardly surprising that Badelj is looking for a new challenge, having spent last three years at Artemio Franchi, scoring 5 goals in 86 Serie A outings.
