Fiorentina's sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has hit out at striker Hernan Crespo after seeing his efforts to sign the Argentinian end in failure.

The 33-year-old is set to join Genoa after leaving Internazionale, having previously looked set to head to Florence.

Corvino told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Signing Crespo seemed like a great idea. Both he and his agent moved the project forward without worrying themselves about the economic aspects.

"When the press asked me about his possible arrival I expressed myself positively, but then other teams liked my idea.

"For Crespo and his agent, the issue of money and the length of his contract got taken by the wind.

"It's a shame, but I don't carry a grudge. Seeing that an 'old player' disappointed me, I can focus on a young one."
