Fiorentina look at Rafinha

By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina are interested in Barcelona midfielder Rafinha, claim ESPN, and he’d be available for €15m and could follow in his father’s footsteps.

The Viola are renovating their squad under new patron Rocco Commisso and that should give them more spending power.

According to ESPN, they are showing interest in Brazilian midfielder Rafinha, who already has some Serie A experience after six months at Inter.

The 26-year-old is only under contract until June 2020 and his career has been badly affected by a series of injuries.

He is also linked with Valencia, but they have not yet reached the €15m asking price set by Barcelona.

It would be an intriguing move for Rafinha, because his father Mazinho played for Fiorentina in 1991-92.
