Sinisa Mihajlovic admits Fiorentina are on the look-out for “an Alberto Aquilani-style player” as they push for Europe.
The Tuscans have been heavily linked with the unsettled Liverpool man, who returned to Anfield when Juventus refused to take up their option.
“I would like to play the 4-3-1-2 system, but that means we’d need an Aquilani-style player,” declared the Coach in today’s Press conference.
“Romulo will help, as he reminds me of early Douglas Maicon, but we have to work on his defensive skills. As for Stevan Jovetic, I asked him not to get hurt...”
Jovetic is set to take centre stage after missing all of last season due to a devastating knee injury.
Adrian Mutu has left for Cesena, while Riccardo Montolivo is likely to exit after refusing another contract extension.
