Alessandro Gamberini 'targeted by English and German clubs'

Fiorentina captain Alessandro Gamberini is the subject of approaches from England and Germany, according to his agent.

The defender has been linked with a move away from the Serie A club, with Everton, Napoli and Bayern Munich all believed to be chasing his signature.

Gamberini has one more year left to run on his contract with the Viola and his agent, Francesco Romano, says that the 30-year-old has not yet had any firm offers. However, he also claimed that English and German clubs have enquired about the Italy international's availability.

He told Il Corriere Di Napoli: "There are no concrete offers, only rumours. Napoli has not asked me anything, while there are requests from abroad; namely from Germany and England.

"Gamberini has another year on his Fiorentina contract and I will meet them next week to understand their intentions.

"Alessandro has always given priority to Fiorentina and so, until we have spoken with the club and the coach, we will not look at other options."

Gamberini joined Fiorentina from Bologna in 2005.
