Javier
Hernández, 24, is a summer 2013 transfer target for ACF Fiorentina. A lack of
game time has cast the young striker’s future into doubt, with Manchester
United willing to release the Mexico international for a figure around the 10
million euro mark. Fiorentina are reportedly willing to match Hernández’s
100,000 euro-a-week wages and offer the striker more first-team football. With
the Viola’s heavy reliance on the goals of Stefan Jovetic this season, this
could be a wise investment.
