Reports from Germany suggest Franck Ribery has given the all-clear to join Fiorentina as a free agent.
Das Bild are stating this evening that Ribery made his decision and turned down more lucrative transfers to Dynamo Moscow, Spartak Moscow or clubs in the UAE.
The 36-year-old’s contract with Bayern Munich expired after 12 years in Germany, where he won the Champions League and nine Bundesliga titles.
Fiorentina confirmed they had made an offer and “if he wants to continue being a player at a high level, then we are waiting.”
According to the latest reports, Ribery’s family also proved crucial in the decision, which saw him pick a new experience in Florence and Serie A.
Al-Nasr had been prepared to give him a two-year contract worth €5m net per season.

No idea why he would want to go to Russia. His personality would clash with the Russian culture.

However, retiring in Qatar/Dubai after two seasons for a total of 20-30m wouldn’t be a bad idea

Florence overall is a very nice place to retire in

I don't think a 16th place Italian club can offer a higher quality level than a 2nd place Russian club participating in UCL.

Ribery might win Serie A player of the season if he is not injured often. He is a top dribbler. Good luck Bayern legend
