Fans of Fiorentina packed Florence airport the morning of his expected arrival, but Berbatov failed to show. It was later claimed he had had a change of heart after some last minute interest by Juventus.
Berbatov ultimately decided to remain in England and has since signed for Fulham. But Fiorentina want their money back, according to SkySport24.
