The agent of Riccardo Montolivo insists he's not leaving Fiorentina for money.

The midfielder is off contract in June.

"His reasoning for a departure has nothing to do with money," agent Carlo Pallavicino told Forza Viola. "Wherever he ends up going, he won't earn that much more than he does in Florence.

"He's made a decision and he accepts responsibility for that, but I think that the club mishandled the way they conducted negotiations for a renewal."
