Mutu was linked with an exit from the Viola for much of the summer, and it had seemed certain at one point that he would join Roma.
Towards the end of July, Fiorentina revealed that they had received, and were considering, an offer from the Giallorossi, believed to be in the region of €20m.
This declaration seemed to suggest that it was a virtual formality that the Romanian would become a Roma player, yet the next day Fiorentina released a statement in which they stated that the bid had been rejected, and Mutu was going nowhere.
There have been many theories as to why Fiorentina apparently changed their tune within the space of 24 hours.
Tuttosport today claims that when Mutu signed a new four year contract a fortnight after this, he came to a secret agreement with the club that he would be allowed to leave next summer for a fee of just €4m.
Inter have recently been made aware of this clause, and in the last few hours have already come forward with an offer.
Mutu, who has been a revelation at the Stadio Franchi since his 2006 move from Juventus, first arrived in Italy with Inter in 2000 but he failed to make an impact at the club, and was soon sold to Verona.
