For months rumours have circulated that Fiorentina director of sport Pantaleo Corvino has completed a swoop for a big-name player whom the press like to refer to as ‘Mister X’.
Reports suggested last week that Inter outcast Hernan Crespo is about to join the Viola on a free transfer in the summer, but Corvino is still cautious and keeps the fans on their toes over the identity of ‘Mister X’.
“It is not fair to discuss details of the transfer market now, as there are still 180 minutes [of playing time] to go until the end of the season,” Corvino said during a press conference.
“These are very important, because they could allow us to meet our targets and reach our ‘Scudetto’. I don’t think it’s right to say who are ‘Mister X’ or ‘Mister Y’.
“I say Fiorentina have to look ahead at the future and keep an eye on the free agents too. Crespo is among them and can be one of our objectives. But I can’t say if he is ‘Mister X’, because we can’t sign any papers yet.”
Crespo, aged 33, has been at Inter since 2006, but his contract with the Beneamata will expire next month and he has not been offered a new deal.
几个月以来,围绕着我佛X-MAN的猜测一直没有停息过。
上周有报道称克雷斯波会在今年夏天入主我佛,但是老科还是卖了个关子。
“现在讨论X-MAN还为时过早,毕竟还有180分钟要打。”
“下面的两场比赛会非常关键,因为我们需要积分来实现我们的目标。我不认为现在是讨论X-MAN的最好时机。”
“我认为我佛还应该继续关注前面的比赛,同时也可以关注一下那些免费的家伙。克雷斯波确实使我们YY的对象,但是我不能说他就是X-MAN,因为我们还没有签任何协议之类的。”
克雷斯波,33岁,06年入主国米,但是他下个月合同到期。
