Tello set for Fiorentina return

Barcelona winger Cristian Tello will be moving back to Fiorentina, Catalunya Radio has moved to suggest.

Having struggled for playing time at Camp Nou, the Spain international gained some first team experience during loan stints with FC Porto and Fiorentina, and he especially enjoyed the six months he spent at Artemio Franchi.

The player and his agent made it clear that a return to Florence could be on the cards and Catalunya Radio now understands that the two clubs have reached an agreement over another loan deal.

Tello will move to Fiorentina on a season-long loan, where Viola will have the option to make the transfer permanent for €8 million.

Having made 15 league appearances (13 starts) in the second part of last season, the winger stands a good chance of securing regular playing time at Artemio Franchi, especially considering that Polish winger Jakub Blaszczykowski since has left the club.
