Striker Adrian Mutu is delighted to have pledged his long-term future to the Italian club, having been linked with a move away from Florence this summer.
The 29-year-old was a target for both Roma and German side Schalke, but Mutu has now signed an extended deal with La Viola running until the summer of 2012.
He commented: "I am happy to stay at Fiorentina and things have ended up as I wanted.
"The important thing was that everything was resolved and my wishes have been met.
"More than anything I always wanted to stay and continue to play a part in this project."
Mutu has scored nearly 40 goals in two seasons with Fiorentina, having previously played for Juventus, Chelsea, Hellas Verona and Internazionale.
