Ribery hints on Fiorentina switch

Franck Ribery has dropped hints on social media that he will be moving to Italian Serie A side Fiorentina on a free transfer.

The 36-year-old former France international winger is on the lookout for a new club after ending a 12-year stint with Bayern Munich, where he made 445 appearances and won the Champions League and nine Bundesliga titles.

Ribery had been linked with a move to Dubai with Al Nasr, but reports claim he will instead move to Italy with Fiorentina.

He later responded with positive emoticons when his former Bayern team-mate Luca Toni quizzed him about a possible move to La Viola.
