Valon Behrami is happy at Fiorentina and would be willing to end speculation regarding his future by penning a new contract, according to his agent. The former Lazio and West Ham midfielder was the subject of an official approach from Juventus during the January transfer window, but saw an offer knocked back. Behrami has become a key figure for the Viola since returning to Serie A and is considered to be indispensable. The 26-year-old is delighted to find himself in such a position and is keen to repay the faith shown in him by his current employers by committing his long-term future to the club.

Contract

"The future for Behrami? He wants to stay at Fiorentina," Behrami's representative Alessandro Beltrami told Sky Sport Italia. "For Valon, this is a calm period, for him and his family. "At the end of the season we'll meet the (Fiorentina owners, Andrea and Diego) Della Valles and if they want Behrami to continue to be a leader, there won't be any problems. "We will happily sign a blank contract. We'll accept anything they propose."
