Fiorentina director Pradè remains calm over Gudmundsson's Iceland trial, says Carlos Volcano

A summer signing on loan from Genoa, the forward is currently facing legal troubles in Iceland for allegations of sexual misconduct.

Prade said on Friday: “That was the most difficult negotiation.

“It started in January and finished a month before the transfer deadline in the summer.”

On the trial, he added, “This is also why it took so long and the club is 100 per cent protected. The player risks very little, but it is a move on loan with either an obligation to buy or an option. 

"It all depends on when the verdict comes, hopefully before June 15. If not, we have a good rapport with Genoa and will try to work out different terms.”
