Fiorentina patron Andrea Della Valle concedes they face losing goalkeeper Noberto Neto.

The Brazilian goalkeeper comes off contract at the end of the season.

"Neto is difficult to pin down," Della Valle told reporters after a 1-1 draw with Empoli.

"I hope that he won't abandon us, but the situation doesn't look good to me. There is something not right.

"If that really is the case, it would be a huge let-down, as I always defended him. I hope that I am wrong."
