Josip Ilicic says that he wants to join Fiorentina this summer.

Palermo midfielder Josip Ilicic has said that he is keen on a move to Fiorentina.

The Slovenian international scored 10 goals in Serie A this season and has been linked with a move away from the Stadio Renzo Barbera following the Rosanero's relegation.

Arsenal and AC Milan have both been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old, but he has revealed a preference to link up with Vincenzo Montella's squad in Florence.

He believes that Viola will be in the mix for the title next season and wants to be involved in the fight, but denied that a deal is in the works.

"Fiorentina are the team I like the most in Italy," Ilicic told Nogomania. "They made a great team and will fight for the Scudetto with Juventus next year.

"Am I close to Fiorentina? If it was so, I would have already signed with them.

"Fiorentina are the team who inspire me the most in terms of the quality of their football. And I also know that I can't jump steps. I'm a Palermo player and I can't dream of - let's say - Manchester United. That would be stupid."

Fiorentina finished fourth in Serie A this season, two points off a spot in the Champions League.
