Years go by, but Franck Ribery -like good wine- it is preserved in an extraordinary way. The attacker scored a great goal in Fiorentina’s draw against Torino and equaled big stars on the world stage in a longevity record. The Frenchman faces his second season at Calcio and, despite his vital importance in the team, ‘violates’ everything points out that he could leave the club in June to go to MLS or even go back to Bundesliga.
The team of Prandelli tied one against ‘Toro’ in a match in which he ended up with two expelled (Castrovilli and Milenkovic), seven minutes were added and they scored the equalizer goal in the 88th minute. Twenty minutes before, Ribéry invented a great goal after a play with Jack Bonaventura that began in the center of the field. The Italian midfielder spurred the ball in front of the area, they made a wall and Bonaventura filtered a perfect pass to the heart of the area that the Frenchman did not miss. He cut Sirigu and sent the ball to the net almost without an angle on his first goal of the season.

With this goal, Ribéry became the fifth player to have scored at least one goal in the last 17 seasons in the major leagues, as revealed by OPTA. Share that record with Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Joaquín. It is no coincidence, since it is about five players who accumulate practically two decades in the elite, have become references of world football and are very prominent figures of their respective teams.
An uncertain future at La Fiore
Franck Ribéry landed in Florence in August 2019 like a star. Thousands of people welcomed him at the airport and attended his presentation in an Artemio Franchi that became almost a New York theater thanks to the innovative and groundbreaking air that he gave Rocco Commisso, the new owner. Despite the great reception, doubts remained as to what the performance of the former Bayern Munich player could be. He soon dispelled them with two exhibitions before Atalanta Y Milan in the second month of competition. An ankle injury kept him away from the pitch for more than three months, but he returned to a high level.

However, there is much speculation and uncertainty surrounding its future. The attacker ends his contract with Fiorentina next June and the latest information coming from Italy and Germany They suggest that he will leave the city of Tuscany. Last week, the player himself did not rule out returning to the Bundesliga and SPORT1 placed him in the orbit of the Wolfsburgo, Eintracht Frankfurt y Hertha Berlin ahead of the 2021/2022 season. Along the same lines, the Gazzetta dello Sport points out that both player and club thought it best not to renew their contract. Despite this, after the match against Torino, Ribéry has not closed the door to continue wearing the ‘viola’ shirt: “The future? I am happy in Florence and I have always said so. I feel very good with the club and the fans. The team’s situation is not easy, but I am always ready to help. I am available to continue, you have to ask to the club”. –
