Fiorentina have pulled off a major transfer coup by signing Chelsea target Valeri Bojinov.

The Bulgarian sensation has bagged double figures for Lecce this season and has long been targeted by Chelsea.

The Blues always seemed to be leading the chase and a summer move to Stamford Bridge looked highly likely.

However, just days after Chelsea offered in the region of €12 million - Fiorentina have now struck a deal worth €13 million.

Chilean Jaime Andres Valdes has moved to Lecce as part of the deal, which is the second major deal for The Viola - after they also secured the signing of Atalanta's gifted young forward Giampaolo Pazzini.

Pazzini has cost Fiorentina €7.5 million and takes their spending to over €20 million in just 24 hours, after they also landed Marco Donadel - who had been with Sampdoria - from Milan.

Atalanta have bolstered their options with the signing Stephen Makinwa in joint ownership with Genoa, who in-turn have signed Vincenzo Italiano from Verona to cover his departure.

Mariano Stendardo has also arrived from Perugia, along with Biagio Pagano from Sampdoria - who have landed Andrea Gasbarroni from Palermo to bolster their squad.

Damiano Zenoni has left Atalanta to join up with Udinese.

Meanwhile, Lecce have confirmed their Brazilian Rodney Babu is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

Fiorentina also announced that their Czech stopper Tomas Ujfalusi would be out of action for a month, also due to a knee problem.

this kid is gonna be a force for years to come

welcome to 4 hours ago :D

yeah, he will be a top forward in a few years....after all, he is only 18 :o

I think the great form of Babu and the return of Konan were the reason they let him go.

Still, im shocked he didnt remain at Lecce for the rest of the season. Good signing/investment by Fiorentina(Y)

How do Fiorentina have so much money again all of a sudden?

they have new ownership with lots of cash, they are going to be a good team in the next few years

good signings (Y) especially Pazzini should be a great buy (according to fm anyway)

finally someone getting ahead of Chelsea :rolleyes: .

can't wait till they start dominating italian football and people start whining.

Guess no one complains about spending money when they don't consider the teams that do it as a threat.

no, its because that team doesnt like to buy every other great player that comes around (see chelsea and real madrid)

Bojinov > ALL

(H)

Sheva > Adriano > Bojinov > All

i think william would have something to say about that ;)

but to the topic

great signing, but what are the chances of chelsea offering some ridiculous amount of money at the end of the season to buy out his contract:confused:

Bojinov, dopo il viola c'è il bianconero

Valery Bojinov è stato il grande colpo dell'ultimo giorno di calciomercato di gennaio: il bulgaro è passato dal Lecce alla Fiorentina per 13 milioni di euro più Oscar Valdes.

Detto che i Viola hanno fatto un acquisto eccellente, ci sono però parecchi dubbi sul fatto che sia proprio Firenze la destinazione dell'ex-giallorosso: dietro Della Valle, sembra infatti esserci lo zampino di Luciano Moggi e della Juventus.

Perché? Analizziamo la situazione: il Lecce ha rifiutato di cedere il bulgaro al Palermo praticamente alle stesse condizioni offerte dalla Fiorentina, 13 milioni di euro più Santana. Detto che il club salentino è storicamente amico di quello juventino (anch'esso interessato a Bojinov), è tecnicamente strano che i pugliesi abbiamo ceduto il loro attaccante più forte a quelli che, classifica alla mano, potrebbero essere dei rivali diretti in un'eventuale corsa per la salvezza o, perlomeno, assai più del Palermo.

Soprattutto, risulta quantomeno curioso che la Fiorentina, a caccia di una punta di peso (si è parlato a lungo di Cruz e Pandiani) abbia deciso di investire così tanto su un giocatore che, tecnicamente, sembra il sosia di Miccoli.

Perché? Perché Miccoli e Bojinov giocheranno insieme solo fino a giugno. Della Valle, infatti, avrebbe praticamente già raggiunto un accordo con Moggi per girare il bulgaro alla Juventus a fine stagione in cambio della metà dei cartellini di Miccoli e Maresca, ancora di proprietà torinese (valutazione complessiva intorno ai 12 milioni di euro); in pratica, con un esborso di un paio di milioni i bianconeri avranno Bojinov mentre la Fiorentina potrà tenersi i suoi due pupilli.

In tutto questo resta da chiarire cosa ci guadagni il Lecce nell'aver ceduto Miccoli ai viola anziché ai rosanero: innanzitutto la concorrenza tra i due club ha fatto lievitare il prezzo del giocatore, con ovvi vantaggi di cassa per la società che l'ha ceduto.

E poi, in questo modo, il Lecce s'è guadagnato la gratitudine di Luciano Moggi, gratitudine che verrà concretizzata l'anno prossimo con l'arrivo nel Salento di qualche giovane promettente, come Palladino e Chiumento
