Let dad do that? Doesn’t always go well!
After leaving Hoffenheim, Florian Grillitsch (26) was about to sign with Serie A club AC Fiorentina, according to the Italian media.
Now the deal has burst – and the reason given by the Italians is tough!
Florence sports director Daniele Pradè (55) publicly declared the negotiations over. “We met with his agent. Grillitsch is a player we’ve been watching for a long time. Since he’s a free transfer, we were very interested,” said Pradè.
The problem: “We didn’t like the father’s talk and the demands he was making. We decide who we work with. We’re a popular club with agents because we always pay on time. However, we cannot always pay more commissions than others.”

Grillitsch continues to look for a club. His contract in Hoffenheim expired after five years. The Austrian national player had already been officially dismissed at the beginning of May.
“In the career of a professional footballer there comes a moment to dare something new, to face a new challenge,” Grillitsch said at the time. Exactly where that will be is now completely open again.
