“
They wanted me at all costs, so much so that I spoke to the Viola management because Inter were offering me a lot of money,
” the two-time Serie A top scorer explained.
“Pantaleo Corvino told me that Fiorentina wanted €25 million for me to leave and Inter came with this offer.
“But then Diego Della Valle called and told me that I had to stay to keep Fiorentina away from relegation, promising that the following year he would let me leave.
“At that point I also refused an increased salary, I was so fired up for the season with Fiorentina.
Luca Toni was a member of the Italian national team at the 2006 World Cup, which eventually won the World Cup. He made a total of 619 appearances during his career, scoring 292 goals.
