"Fiorentina" club president Mario Cognigni stated that "Chelsea" defender Frank Lampard has always been liked by him as a player.
According to reports in Italy, "Viola" has joined the battle for the experienced defender no longer needed by the "aristocrats". In recent weeks, clubs such as Los Angeles "Galaxy", "Monaco", and "Juventus" have been linked with the footballer.
"Lampard is a player that I have always liked, and now he is a perfect example of the type of player we should be looking for. He is over 30 years old, his contract will soon expire. Such a player could be a great combination of experience and value for money," M. Cognigni believes.
However, the president admitted that the transfer policy is not his area and whether the team will try to acquire the player does not depend on him.
"Fiorentina" defender Borja Valero would also like to see F. Lampard in the ranks of the Florence team: "F. Lampard to "Viola"? Players of such caliber would be an ideal reinforcement for the team and it would be wonderful if he arrived. However, the club's representatives deal with the player market, my duty is to play," he said.
