French centre-back Modibo Diakite is set to sign for Fiorentina after terminating his contract with Sunderland.
The club’s official website confirmed that Diakite had left the club by mutual consent with a short announcement.
The 27-year-old has been one of the pieces of deadwood that Gus Poyet wanted off the books and he said last week that ten clubs were interested in acquiring his signature.
Diakite joined Sunderland in January 2013 from Lazio on a free transfer but only managed to make seven appearances.
