Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso insists the club isn't for sale.

A Saudi consortium has been linked with a takeover offer for the Viola.

But Commisso said at the media conference to announce coach Vincenzo Italiano's new contract: “It is important to make very clear that Fiorentina is not for sale.

"I repeat, Fiorentina is not for sale, despite the fake news put about during a period in which we are working to prepare for next season.

"These stories only hurt Fiorentina."
