Gamberini signs new Fiorentina deal

Fiorentina defender Alessandro Gamberini has signed a new contract with the Serie A side.

The 27 year old impressed for the Viola last season, as the club managed to secure the important fourth place.

“We would like to announce that Gamberini’s contract has been extended until 2013,” a Viola statement reads.

“The player will meet journalists at the Stadio Artemio Franchi this afternoon at 3.30pm.”

Gamberini has been linked with German side Bayern Munich in recent weeks.

Gamberini, who joined Fiorentina from Bologna in 2005, also was a part of the Italian squad for Euro 2008.

The defender made his debut for Italy in a 2-0 win against South Africa in 2007.
