Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has taken an apparent dig at Chelsea linked Federico Bernardeschi over the club’s contract renewal offer for the winger.
The 23-year-old Italy international’s future at Fiorentina is uncertain as he has bigger offers to move to England, where Chelsea are ready to pay him €5m per season.
Inter Milan are also interested in signing the winger and prepared to double his current salary in order to convince him to move to the San Siro during the summer transfer window.
Fiorentina are interested in offering him a new five-year contract worth €2.5m per season, but they are yet to reach an agreement with his representatives over his future at the club.
However, Corvino indicated that if Bernardeschi cared about the club’s future and the shirt, he would sign a new deal with La Viola and show his loyalty towards the club.
