Fiorentina are rivaling Juventus - and several European giants - for the Brazil international and Dunga declared: "Florence is the place most suitable for all players, but for a Brazilian, however, it is the best.

"It is a cheerful city, sunny, and the people there are always ready to help you.

"I'll add more and say Fiorentina, please take Diego, he is an extraordinary player who would fit with ease into your team, I do not have any doubts.

"For a comparison, I would say that the Werder Bremen player reminds me of only one other, a great No10, who in Florence has written important pages in the history of football. Who? Only one, Roberto Baggio."
