Seen this come up in a few places but nothing official from Fiorentina as of yet so it may just be a rumour, however if it’s true this is totally class from Fiorentina

Fake news. Now makes fiorentina look bad for not doing it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was conjured up by some asshole to make Cardiff look bad, we get a lot of abuse on social media in a multitude of languages

Load of nonsense to be honest.

RIP Davide Astori but the man would have been on megabucks for the vast majority of his career, and I'm fairly sure he would have had a life insurance/assurance.

When the man on the street dies early their families have to get on with life, if lucky you might get 3/4 x their salary if still in employment but that's it, you won't have *insert employer here* paying their contracts for life or givinh any extras.

It's one of the reasons when I read things about us supposedly looking after Salas family it makes me laugh. I'm fairly confident Sala (RIP) would have left behind an estate almost all of us on here could ever dream of.

I wonder every time I read a post with all this financial concern about his family as well.

Joe Soap dies and their families have to get on with it, Emiliano was most likely a millionaire , should have some sort of private insurances { if his agent ,{not McKay } was any good } and the family have already acquired the services of a top lawyer that 90% of ordinary folk just wouldn't be able to afford.
