The agent of Alberto Aquilani says he is banking on a successful season with Fiorentina.
The Viola man has been included in the Azzurri's squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Czech Republic.
"The national team has been a goal for Alberto ever since he arrived in Florence," Franco Zavaglia told Radio Blu.
"And he knows that this season will be a very important one for him. Last season went well, but Alberto hopes this year will be even better.
"Fiorentina have made a big impression in the transfer market. It's hard to look past Juve for the Scudetto, but I think Fiorentina are a close second - ahead of Napoli, Milan, Inter and Roma."
