Fiorentina sports chief Pantaleo Corvino has declared their interest in Real Madrid winger Robinho.

"We'd love to bring a World Cup star to Florence," he said. "I cannot say we could sign someone like Ronaldinho, but a player like Robinho I would gladly bring him here."

"Knowing the public of Florence and their support for great entertainers, it would be an appropriate purchase. He would excite the fans."
