Fiorentina confirm deal for Liverpool's Insua dead-in-the-water

Fiorentina have confirmed Emiliano Insua's move from Liverpool has fallen through due to a failure to agree the personal demands of the player. Liverpool and Fiorentina agreed a fee for the full-back last month and a deal was expected to be completed with new Reds boss Roy Hodgson looking to bring in a new left-back.

"Insua is not coming," said Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino.

"He had high economic demands.

"I was in talks with the sporting director at Liverpool, who is our guest here, until two this morning.

"At the end we decided to give up on Insua, who will remain in England.

"The player would have entered into Fiorentina's technical and financial plans, but we couldn't reach an agreement with the player.

"Today, the deal can be considered finished."
