http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/may27i.html Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino is confident that the Viola will add Alberto Gilardino to the ranks, but is 「pessimistic」 over Andrea Barzagli. The Tuscans are looking to strengthen this summer after stealing fourth place from Milan and securing a place in next season's Champions League. Having already moved for Slovenian striking starlet Stevan Jovetic and Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo, Corvino is now moving on to other targets. 「We have almost a desperate battle against Inter, Roma and Juventus to sign players because they have so much money whereas we have to rely on sacrifices from the Della Valle family and the nous of myself and Cesare Prandelli,」 the transfer guru explained. 「Gilardino? He will be the most expensive player that I have ever signed – even more than Luca Toni. 「In my career I have become used to cooking with water, but this time I have used oil and I hope I can offer more tasty dishes.」 Azzurri defender Barzagli had looked likely to join Fiorentina, but now it seems that negotiations have hit a brick wall. 「I am pessimistic about Barzagli,」 Corvino admitted. 「However, for the last three years our defence has been amongst the tightest in the League. We can win without him.」 Lyon defender Anthony Réveillère is also believed to be on the defensive shopping list. 「Réveillère could be useful to cover for the departure of Tomas Ujfalusi, but he isn't the only option,」 Corvino stressed. 「Angelo Palombo? We won't be moving for him. We already have six midfielders and if we need one more we will research better. One could be developing in Florence or in Patagonia – we'll find him.」 -- 科胖對於Gila的到來充滿信心， 但與Barzagli的談判則是碰到阻礙， 可是科胖死鴨子嘴硬認為目前的後衛陣容已經很完美了， 而傳聞中的Réveillè 、Palombo， 前者非fio惟一選項、後者則是因為我們的中場太擠了沒有引進的計畫... --
