Ribery: 'I rejected Frankfurt and Premier League for Fiorentina'
Ribery has been one of the best free-agent signings this summer and has lit up with the Serie A already. He has scored once, assisting thrice in six appearances.
In an interview that the Frenchman gave to BILD, he said: "I was also wanted by Eintracht Frankfurt, but they just wanted to give me a one-year contract and it was never an option for me. I wanted to change then, not stay in the Bundesliga. There were also Premier teams , but I chose Fiorentina."
