Fiorentina are now set to keep Dusan Vlahovic at the club, with Atletico Madrid set to back away from the chase.

Gianluca di Marzio has reported recently that Atletico have resigned to not being able to sign the Serbian, despite having made a new offer of €50 million plus bonuses of €10 million and a 20 percent future resale clause. Now, Fiorentina have prevailed and the striker will stay at the Artemio Franchi.

Rocco Commisso was key to this decision and the management played a vital role in it too. Vincenzo Italiano had confirmed the same and Vlahovic will now stay for at least another season.

Atletico Madrid are set to turn their attention to Matheus Cunha, who they’ve been pursing quite keenly.
