We hope to win, I have always dreamed of this,” he said. “I wanted Fiorentina so much, I hoped for this until the end, and now I’m happy,” he added.
As anticipation builds up around his potential debut in the Italian Super Cup, Fiorentina’s fans and teams around the Serie A eagerly await the impact Faraoni will have on the team’s performance.
