Fiorentina patron Andrea Dalla Valle says Adrian Mutu is no longer up for sale.

Mutu is needed at Fiorentina following the knee injury suffered by Stevan Jovetic.

"We'll now sit round a table and see what can be done," said Della Valle discussing the ramifications of Jovetic's six month lay-off. "Don't forget we have Adem Ljajic, who is a great young talent, and Adrian Mutu is now off the market.

"I spoke to Adrian, now he has one more reason to come back and is really fired up."

Mutu had been awaiting a transfer, but his ban for a failed drugs test does not expire until October 29.
