Catania sports director Pietro Lo Monaco admits he'd prefer to sell star defender Juan Vargas to Fiorentina over Real Madrid.
Real's interest in the Peru international has been confirmed and Lo Monaco said: "I can say that nothing has been agreed, but personally I would prefer to sell to an Italian club and Vargas would be very good for Fiorentina.
"For us, it is difficult to say no to teams like Real Madrid, however, I'm convinced that he could reach his best in Florence."
