The Berbatov story. What Italian reports say happened today:
The Italian media can't stop talking about the Dimitar Berbatov story. Many say it's something they have never seen before (and that's saying a lot considering Italian calcio is the top place for strange controversies and occurrences). So after compiling lots of Italian media stories together, apparently this is what happened today:
Berbatov decides he will sign for Fiorentina. The Viola agree a deal with Manchester United and an oral agreement with the player. Fiorentina pay for a flight for Berbatov and his agent from Manchester to Florence (with stopover in Munich) to have a medical in Florence and sign for the club. While stopped in Munich waiting for the connecting flight, Berbatov's agent gets calls from intermediaries talking about a possible interest from Juventus. Fiorentina director Macia and Viola fans are then waiting for Berbatov's arrival at the Florence airport. Sporting Director Daniele Prade' is waiting at the office with the contract and has opened the medical clinic for Berbatov's medical exam. Berbatov never shows up at the Florence airport. He decides to refuse Fiorentina.
Juventus, after hearing of his refusal, decide to make an offer, which Berbatov and Manchester United accept. Berbatov then gets a call from old boss Martin Jol, who convinces him to come back to England and join Fulham, leaving Juventus high and dry.
Moral of the story: Fiorentina, next time pay for a direct flight.
