Della Valle bought Fiorentina in 2002, when the club was downgraded to the fourth division due to bankruptcy. With them the Violets returned to Serie A and even played in the Champions League. But recently there has been no progress in the results, which causes discontent among the fans of Fiorentina.
"Given the dissatisfaction of some fans, Fiorentina's owners report that they are ready to step aside and transfer the club to the disposal of those who are ready to buy and manage it as they see fit," reads the statement on the club's official website.
"It's time to take a step for those who love the colors of the club and believe that they can manage it differently and more successfully. The owners will welcome specific proposals, but only from those who love Fiorentina and possess the necessary skills to manage such a demanding club ".
The approximate cost of the transaction is not called.
