Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani has seen a move to Fiorentina fall through.
Fiorentina could not agree a fee with Liverpool to buy Aquilani when his proposed loan spell would have ended next summer.
The Italian midfielder was reluctant to take a pay cut of over 50 per cent to fit within the Serie A side's £30,000-a-week wage ceiling.
Aquilani also preferred to make a permanent switch rather than another temporary one after spending last season on loan at Juventus.
Aquilani's agent Franco Zavaglia claims no deal has been done.
"An agreement between Fiorentina and Aquilani hasn't been reached," he said. "Fiorentina haven't come to a decision with regard to us."
