Ajax reject Mounir El Hamdaoui is ready to sign for Fiorentina - dashing the hopes of Blackburn and Everton in their pursuit of him.
The striker has fallen out with Ajax and was sent a letter at the start of the season telling him he had no part to play this season.
Ajax have been true to their word and El Hamdaoui has not played a single minute in the Eredivisie this season.
His predicament was noted by Everton and Blackburn but the Premier League pair's interest was not enough to seal a deal.
El Hamdaoui, 27, has reportedly agreed to move to Serie A side Fiorentina as he looks to get his career back on track.
