There is one thing that seems certain for Luis Muriel this January, and it is that he will sign for a club in Serie A, though he now appears set to join Fiorentina and not AC Milan.
Alessandro Lucci, the player’s agent, has a good relationship with the Rossoneri but the Colombian himself is keen to move to Florence, having previously given his word to the Tuscan side.
Italian journalist Gianluca Dimarzio reports that the player had already reached an agreement to wear the Viola shirt, which he is reluctant to go back on and wants to stick to.
Sevilla, meanwhile, don’t care about the destination of the forward and Fiorentina have also offered below the 12 million euros the La Liga side are looking for.
However, La Viola are more open to signing the player outright in the winter market and not waiting until the summer to make a decision on making a permanent move.
Now, then, it seems that Florence is the most likely destination for Muriel as his Serie A return is a certainty.
