This Wednesday, Fiorentina will play one of their last friendlies against Chelsea and Paulo Sousa, the new coach of Fiore, called up Matías Fernández, who is already fully integrated into the team's work. The call comes at a crucial moment for the continuity of the Chilean.
Fernández's training in the Monumental Stadium, his words remembering with fondness and longing Colo Colo, and Aníbal Mosa's statements announcing that he will make an effort to repatriate Mati in 2016, mobilized the Italian club.
Fernández's contract ends in 2016 after four years at Fiorentina, and the Florentine team wants to keep the midfielder for longer. At first, the change of strategy - Sousa replaced Vincenzo Montella - had caused uncertainty, but the viola team does not intend to dismantle the squad.
What remains to be resolved is the extension of the new contract. Fernández will turn 30 in 2016, so time will be one of the topics to discuss.
