ROME: Italy striker Alberto Gilardino on Wednesday pledged to remain at Fiorentina until the end of the season at least, despite reported interest from Juventus.
The 28-year-old is La Viola’s top scorer this season with six goals in 16 games as the team has struggled.
However the former AC Milan frontman has attracted the attention of Juve as they seek a new striker to replace Fabio Quagliarella, who is out for the season after tearing his cruciate knee ligament.
But Gilardino says he won’t be going there in January.
“Fiorentina have been very clear with me and I’m delighted to be staying, I still want to give a lot more to this shirt, I want to finish the season in the best way and then we’ll see,” he told reporters.
“There are another five months from now until June, I don’t know what will happen then, there’s no way of knowing.”
Gilardino admitted, though, that he enjoys being surrounded by speculation concerning his future.
“Obviously when you do well for an important club like Fiorentina you end up grabbing the attention of big clubs,” he added.
