The
Egyptian anchorman Hany said agreed on a deal to join
the glorious viola that the world knew and loved with
the name Fiorentina. The deal is finalized between the
player and his new club with only some minor details
between Bari and Fiorentina still debated. Fiorentina
announced that they can even settle for a loan plus
owning 50% of the player contract. This leaves Bari
with no option but to let him join the viola next season.
The football director at Fiorentina announced: "we
agreed personal terms with Hany Said and few lines has
to be written with Bari, he will join us next season
this is sure. On what bases is still to be discussed."
Mr. Galli also added: "he will strengthen our midfield
for sure".
Fiorentina just 3 years were among the top clubs and
few years ago managed to beat Arsenal at Highbury in
the Champions League, but financial crisis stormed the
Artemio Franchi stadium and left it in ruin leaving
the Italian Football Federation with nothing but sending
it all the way down to serie C2 which is the lowest
professional level in Italy plus changing the historical
name of FC Fiorentina forever and placing a new name
for the club.
But the viola faithful managed to gather funds, bought
all the club season tickets and setting an example they
did show up for each game in numbers around 20,000 spectators
while the C2 average is just 500 spectators leaving
the players no chance but to storm their way back to
top flight and now the club is back to serie C with
the prospect of being in top flight in just 2 years,
if they promoted from serie C then B back to back.
If Hany joined the club he will be a regular as most
renowned players left the side after the recent slump
leaving only the flamboyant winger and former Juventus
hero Di Livio (35) as "El Capitano" of the
Viola. This can be seen as a good opportunity for Hany
to play regularly with a club very hungry to succeed
and to regain the glory of the old days. Fans are eager
to win and are pushing the players only to the top.
His current club AS Bari though in a better category
"serie B" but the future is dim for that club
and Hany rarely sees any action.
Hany already made his wise choice and will join a very
prestigious club that is strengthened by sympathy from
all over Italy to be once again among the big 7 where
the viola belongs.
