RIBERY DEPARTS BAYERN
Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery has signed for Fiorentina, the Serie A club announced on Wednesday. The 36-year-old, who won a record nine Bundesliga titles during his stay in Germany, has penned a two-year deal with the Florence-based side to take him through until 2021.
Bayern Munich decided to reduce the average age of the squad this summer. The club sold Mats Hummels to Borussia Dortmund while numerous veteran players were released.
Franck Ribery was one of these veteran players whose contract at Bayern expired this summer.
Arjen Robben decided to retire from the game, but Ribery was eager to continue playing at the top level. The Frenchman was ready to reject lucrative offers from different parts of the globe as he wanted to play for a European club. Ribery’s wish was finally fulfilled this week as Fiorentina found a breakthrough during the talks with his agent. The former Bayern winger arrived in Florence on Wednesday to undergo medical and complete the final details of the deal.
The Frenchman was linked with numerous clubs since leaving Bayern. Sheffield United and Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly emerged as the shock destinations for the winger, but the two clubs quickly denied these claims. Moreover, Ribery was unlikely to play for any other German club, while Sheffield United had just gained promotion to the Premier League.

Ribery was also linked with Al-Nassr . The Saudi Arabian club had reportedly offered a lucrative two-year contract to the French winger. Ribery’s sheer determination to play at the top level for at least two more years decreased the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia.
Fiorentina will allow Ribery to play in a top-five European league. However, the Frenchman will not have a realistic chance of winning Serie A as Fiorentina are unlikely to challenge Juventus for the title. The Italian club struggled in the league last season as they finished 16th in the table. He will not get the taste of European football, but good playing time looks certain.
Ribery could turn out to be an inspirational signing for the Italian club. If he finds a way to remain fit throughout the season, then Fiorentina will have a decent chance of breaking into top six of the Serie A. The slow and more tactical nature of Serie A might also aid Ribery’s style of play.
Bayern Munich has seen best of Ribery in the last 12 years. Seeing the Frenchman in a different kit will be odd, but it will be interesting to see how he fares in a new league. One thing is sure that Fiorentina fans will get to see Ribery working relentlessly on the pitch.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac
