Rossi takes wage cut at Fiorentina

Giuseppe Rossi has agreed to reduce his salary as the
Fiorentina striker works his way back to full fitness.

Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi has accepted a wage cut with
more incentives as he works his way back to top form, the Serie
A club announced.

Rossi, who is out of contract at the end of the 2016-17 season -
has been ravaged by knee injuries since moving to Florence in
2013, and only recently returned from a 15-month lay-off.

Serie A leaders Fiorentina have now moved to renegotiate
Rossi's contract, with the Italy international's new deal including
"altered economic terms, with a reduced fixed salary
compensated by increased variables tied to appearances and
goals".

The 28-year-old has started two matches for Fiorentina this
season, with the former Manchester United frontman named on
the bench in the other four games.
