Fiorentina not giving up on Manchester City shot stopper Costel Pantilimon
FIORENTINA are not giving up in their pursuit of Manchester City shot stopper Costel Pantilimon.
The Romanian, who was predominantly used as City's cup keeper last season and made just five appearances last season, says he is after regular first-team football.
In an interview last month, Pantilimon said: "I thought I would play at least the FA Cup final against Wigan, but we all know how it went.

Fiorentina have already struck some deals having signed Bolton's Marcos Alonso are are close to wrapping up a deal for Malaga's Iturra.
Reports in Italy indicate the goalkeeping position has been targeted as a priority, as La Viola are unwilling to make Emiliano Viviano’s loan from Palermo permanent.
