The agent of Filippo Terracciano admits he almost joined Fiorentina in January.
The wing-back left Verona for AC Milan during the winter market.
Andrea D'Amico told Radio Bruno: He was very close to Fiorentina.
"I had to tell a couple of lies in the media. But it was really very close. Verona, however, was already too far ahead in the talks with Milan.
"But I guarantee you that it was really one step away."
