Currently leading the Serie A standing, Fiorentina will reinforce in any case their team in January. In the last hours of the last transfer window, the viola tried to sign a center back, and were in fact about to bring AC Milan 33-year-old Philippe Mexes to Florence, but finally the rossoneri’s president Silvio Berlusconi blocked the transfer of the Frenchman; as reported by calciomercato.com’s expert Fabrizio Romano, Mexes remains a target for the Tuscan club –despite the declarations recently released by its Sporting Director Daniele Pradè- but the main target remains Benfica 26-year-old Lisandro Ezequiel López; the gigliati executives will meet in November their Portuguese counterparts to talk about the former Arsenal de Sarandì player; another option could be Lyon 23-year-old Lindsay Rose, while 28-year-old Facundo Roncaglia will probably renew his contract with the viola. Fiorentina are also seeking a midfielder, and Gremio 20-year-old Walace Souza Silva remains an option, despite his high evaluation.
