Reports suggest the Viola have made a £4million bid for De Silvestri, who has been frozen out of the Biancocelesti squad due to a contract dispute.
“De Silvestri to Fiorentina? That’s complete rubbish,” snapped President Claudio Lotito on violanews.com.
“There is no truth in it. I don’t know if [Viola director of sport Pantaleo] Corvino was in Rome, but he certainly did not meet with me, as I am not in the capital at the moment.”
