Viola in Mutu link

Fiorentina have been linked with a move for ex-Chelsea man Adrian Mutu.

Fiorentina have been linked with a possible move for former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu.

The Romanian international is currently in the middle of a seven-month ban after failing a drugs test.

The result earned him the sack from the Stamford Bridge club in October before Mutu was slapped with a ban from playing worldwide until May 18, 2005.

The possibility of his return has prompted reports in Italy to suggest that Mutu has been offered to the Viola.

The former Internazionale, Verona and Parma hit-man has expressed an interest in returning to the Italian game and Fiorentina may just be one of several options for the Eastern European marksman.

Juventus are thought to still be monitoring Mutu's situation, though a deal is thought to be far from becoming reality with The Old Lady.
