Fiorentina management are seriously contemplating the prospect of this being the final season of Adrian Mutu.

La Nazione says Viola management are resigning themselves to the Romania international leaving the club, if not in January, then in June.

Zenit St Petersburg and Fenerbahce are both in contact with Fiorentina about Mutu's situation, which is further complicated by the £14 million compo claim he owes Chelsea which is still hanging over him.
