Maxi Rodriguez (update)

Since yesterday Fiorentina has raised its bid for Maxi Rodriguez to 20 million euros. The problem is in that the Italians are ready to pay Maxi only 1,5 million euros per year, while his salary in Atletico is much higher. Besides, it will be difficult to convince Javier Aguirre to liberate the Argentinean, despite arrival of Forlan, Simao Sabrosa and Reyes.
