With the Argentinian refusing to budge on his salary demands, Fiorentina have admitted defeat.[LNB]"Insua is not coming," said Corvino. "He had high economic demands.[LNB]"I was in talks with the sporting director at Liverpool, who is our guest here, until two this morning.[LNB]"At the end we decided to give up on Insua, who will remain in England.[LNB]"The player would have entered into Fiorentina's technical and financial plans, but we couldn't reach an agreement with the player.[LNB]"Today, the deal can be considered finished."[LNB]Insua arrived at Anfield in January 2007 from Boca Juniors and has played 62 matches for the Reds.[LNB]He had a difficult season as injury to Fabio Aurelio meant he was first-choice left-back for most of the campaign and that eventually took its toll on his performances.
