Fiorentina Look At Marco Storari As Replacement For Sebastien Frey

Juventus goalkeeper Marco Storari is being monitored by Fiorentina, who could sign him after losing Sebastien Frey.

The French goalkeeper joined Genoa after six years with the Tuscany-based outfit, and Sinisa Mihajlovic is on the look out for an alternative.

Tuttosport reports Storari, 34, could be leaving Juventus for Fiorentina as he is not keen on living in Gianluigi Buffon's shadows once again.

The coach responded positively when asked whether a place in continental competition was a possibility for the coming season.

"Europe? Yes, we want to challenge for the top six or seven places and we want to return to Europe," the coach said after drawing 0-0 with Torino in a friendly on Friday night, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.com.

Storari was a loyal replacement while Buffon was injured during the first half of last term, but he has been locked out since the Italy international returned to full fitness.

Fiorentina have Artur Boruc and Brazilian Neto as their two main shot-stoppers, but after announcing the European places are his aims, Mihajlovic wants extra back-up.
