Quagliarella denies making Fiorentina quotes

The 31-year-old is widely expected to depart Juventus Stadium after he made just 17 appearances in Serie A last season.

Subsequently, rumours have suggested Quagliarella could join Lazio, while some reports state he could join Juve's rivals Fiorentina, for whom he enjoyed a loan spell in the 2002-2003 campaign.

Quagliarella was reported to have stated that joining Vincenzo Montella's side was a possibility he was considering.

He was quoted by FirenzeViola.it over the weekend: "I really want to be playing because I still feel like an important and key player, I still have a lot to give.

"Fiorentina? It's one of the options and who knows whether I will really return to wearing a Viola shirt.

"I was very happy in Florence and the fans always showed me affection. We'll see what happens."

"I have read certain statements that I (made) on the coming market, to which I absolutely did not release," Quagliarella wrote.

Quagliarella scored just once in Italy's top flight last season, though he started only three games.
