Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso spoke about Inter target Federico Chiesa, Gaetano Castrovilli and his dreams in the transfer market in an interview in the insert ‘AM, motors and lifestyles’, which came with today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
“From day one, I asked the players to call me Rocco. I haven’t yelled at anyone yet. Young people do. I cuddle them. At their age they need a president who’s also a father.”
He continued talking about his relationship with the squad.
‘Chiesa, I gave him attention when he came on tour in the USA. But I also love Castrovilli, Vlahovic. And with the guys who tested positive for COVID-19, I made myself available every day when they weren’t well.”
The Italian American businessman talked about the future of Inter target Federico Chiesa.
“I think Federico understood the ambition we have. In the next five years we’re going to aim high. We want Fiorentina to become a point of arrival, and no longer a passing point, for the players.”
Finally, Commisso talked about his dreams in the transfer market.
“Messi, he’s the strongest of them all. But he has impossible costs for us. My desire is another. I would like Chiesa, Castrovilli and Vlahovic to become Fiorentina legends.”
Inter are one of many clubs incredibly interested in signing the 22-year-old Chiesa, who is contracted to the Florence based club until 2022. Chiesa has made 26 appearances across all competitions so far this season for the Viola, for a total of 2117 minutes. In that time, he has scored seven goals and provided five assists, being one of the stars of the team.
The Nerazzurri are hoping to fund the expensive deal for Chiesa with the money earnt from selling Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona.
