Fiorentina sources have rebuffed reports that Rocco Commisso is ready to sell the Serie A club after a €600m price-tag was floated.
The rumours had emerged over the last few days, suggesting that Commisso had given a mandate to an American bank to find new buyers for the club.
The patron was inevitably shaken by the sudden death of his right-hand man Joe Barone last month, as the director general had been in charge of the day to day running of the club in Italy while Commisso remained in New York.
Commisso concerns
The Corriere dello Sport newspaper today suggested a potential sale price of somewhere between €450m and €600m for interested parties.
However, multiple sources close to Fiorentina have shrugged off the rumours, confident that Commisso is there for the long haul, especially after the construction of the new Viola Park training facilities.
Fiorentina are a club with no debt and last year reached a record high revenue of €148m.
Since taking over from the Della Valle brothers five years ago, Commisso has pumped €318m into the club.
