La Fiorentina comunica di aver acquisito a titolo definitivo le prestazioni sportive del difensore peruviano Juan Manuel Vargas (classe 1983) dal Catania Calcio. Il calciatore sarà presentato alla stampa domani, sabato 5 luglio, alle ore 12.00 presso la sala conferenze dello Stadio Artemio Franchi.
La Fiorentina, in considerazione del cantiere aperto all'interno dello Stadio per il concerto di Luciano Ligabue, si scusa con i propri tifosi ma non sarà in grado di aprire i cancelli per il pubblico.
Fiorentina have confirmed the signing of full back Juan Manuel Vargas from Catania on their website.
Ever since the last matchday of the 2007/2008 Serie A season, in which Catania ensured their stay in
the Italian top flight, Sicilian president Antonio Pulvirenti suggested that Peruvian full back Juan
Manuel Vargas would leave to join Fiorentina.
Since that day, there has been a lot of talk about the move, but now it's official. Today Fiorentina
announced on their official website that they have signed the 25-year-old player.
His presentation is planned for Saturday, but due to the preparations for the concert of famous Italian
singer Luciano Ligabue, it will be impossible for the fans to participate in the event, which will be
held behind closed doors.
Vargas' impressive performances for the Sicilian side even earned interest from Real Madrid at one
point, but there was never much doubt that the Viola would land the player's signature.
