The links between Juventus and Fiorentina continue for Federico Bernardeschi. As reported by SkySports, the player has sent a medical certificate sent to Fiorentina, in which the young talent announced that he would not join the rest of the team in their Moena retreat. In the meantime, Juventus accelerates to try to close the deal.

The 23 year old winger was in fact expected for his medicals with the Viola club, but his entourage sent Fiorentina a medical certificate instead. In response to the certificate, the Viola club has brought forward this statement. "Fiorentina reports that Federico Bernardeschi will not reach the Moena retreat as a result of acute gastroenteritis. This disease forces the player to observe four days of rest, as evidenced by the medical certificate sent."

It continues to be a long story for Bernardeschi’s transfer, with his agent Bozzo, who in the afternoon met with the Bianconeri leaders to reduce the distance between the clubs, which at the moment is still a 3 million EUR difference between bonuses and fixed stakes. Marotta and Juve are hoping to reach a new important milestone in the coming hours. In fact, new contacts between the two clubs, with Juventus hoping to succeed in closing of the deal, thus avoiding further difficulties and diplomatic incidents.
