Both players have consistently been the subject of departure rumours as a result of their stellar performances this season, but Viola director of sport Pantaleo Corvino insists that they are not even beginning to consider parting with their crown jewels.
“We have given these players long-term contracts because we believed in them more than anyone else and before anyone else,” he said. “Now that we have put pen to paper, we have the pleasure of keeping them for a very long time.”
When questioned about the persistence of the inquiries of other clubs, Corvino added: “We too knock on the doors of other clubs for their great players, but then they always say no.
”Everyone tries. I don’t know if they did so for our players, but the transfer market is a game in which everybody attempts to get the best pieces for themselves.”
Finally, the Fiorentina director made a brief and some would feel reassuring comment on the constant speculation surrounding star defender Tomas Ujfalusi, as well as the contract status of Christian Vieri and Fabio Liverani.
“We have a few situations with Vieri, Ujfalusi and Liverani that we will try to face and resolve at the right time,” he concluded.
