Roberto Piccoli has officially completed his transfer from Cagliari to Fiorentina, reported to be worth €25m plus add-ons, and chosen to wear the Number 91 jersey.

The striker arrived this morning to undergo his medical tests and put pen to paper on the five-year contract.

He will be presented to the media in a special press conference on Tuesday afternoon at the Viola Park complex.

Piccoli starts a new experience at Fiorentina

The 24-year-old is a product of the Atalanta youth academy and went on several loan experiences to Spezia, Genoa, Empoli and Lecce.

He was sold to Cagliari last month for €12.5m following the initial loan, but then immediately made the next step up in his career to Fiorentina.

Curiously, the two teams faced off in Sardinia yesterday for the opening Serie A game of the season, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Piccoli did not play in that match, as it was already known he would be joining the Viola.

He scored 11 goals with four assists for Cagliari last season in 40 competitive games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
