The ambitious club that survived in the Serie A championship last season, which recently lost one of its attacking leaders Fabrizio Miccoli, acquired an Italian national team forward for 10 million euros, as well as added a defender who left the team.

28-year-old Toni, who signed a four-year contract with Fiorentina, arrives at his new club after two very successful seasons with Palermo. The forward initially scored 30 goals in Serie B and helped the Sicilians rise to Serie A, and he scored 20 times in the latter league, significantly contributing to the team's sixth position.

Toni, who made his debut for the Italian national team in August last year, has also played for Modena, Empoli, Fiorenzuola, Lodigiani, Treviso, Vicenza, and Brescia clubs in his career. To strengthen Palermo's attack, they acquired Italian A.Caracciolo from Brescia and bought Nigerian S.Makinwa from Atalanta.

Former Cagliari and Lazio full-back G.Pancaro also joined Fiorentina, who had been loaned to Milan for the past two seasons, and after the end of his loan contract, he decided to change teams.
