Fiorentina Director Pantaleo Corvino Admits Milan & Parma Had The Best Transfer Campaigns
Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino says Milan and Parma fared the best during the summer transfer campaign...
By Rick D'Andrea
Corvino believes the Rossoneri and Gialloblu were the best teams on the transfer market.
"It will be fascinating to see how ceratin players go," tho Viola director told Corriere Dello Sport. "[Zlatan] Ibrahimovic has won seven straight Scudetti, and it is possible he could win eight.
"With Pato and Ronaldinho, Milan were also able to add some agility and more technical ability with the signing of Robinho.
"Parma knew how to take advantage of certain situations, and could be the surprise packet of the season, as it could give teams many problems."
According to Corvino, this was not a normal summer transfer season, as teams tried to catch up to others, rather than consolidating.
"Milan, Roma and Juventus wanted to be like Inter, who has always improved with every season. Meanwhile Genoa, Napoli, Palermo and Sampdoria have tried their utmost to join the ranks of Fiorentina, which has been a strong side.
"I don't know how each of those teams will fare, but what I can say is that we have proven our worth over time. It will now be up to the other teams to do so," he concluded.
