“The idea of Ribery comes from a deep friendship between Boateng and Ribery,” explained Galliani on Teleradiostereo.

“If we get into Serie A, then we’ll be thinking about him. Our project at Monza had the aim of going from Serie C to B, then B to A. At this moment, on goal difference, we are in second place and would be in Serie A. However, it matters where you are after 38 rounds and not 20.

“We hope to give the city where I was born, at the club where I was vice-president and one of the owners from 1975 to 1985, the joy of reaching Serie A for the first time.”

Ribery’s contract with Fiorentina is due to expire at the end of the season.
