Former Manchester United defender Lindelof snubs Everton for Fiorentina move | OneFootball

Former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has rejected a proposal from Premier League side Everton, as reports from Italy claim that the Swedish centre-back has his heart set on a move to Fiorentina.

According to what has been reported by the Corriere dello Sport this morning, the Swede rejected a move to Everton but is still in talks with the Viola over a potential move to Italy.

Lindelof would reportedly like to join former United teammate David De Gea in Florence but would need to accept a considerably reduced salary from the net €6 million per season he was earning in the North of England.
