Two-year deal
Pancaro has agreed a two-year contract at the Stadio Artemio Franchi after being released by UEFA Champions League runners-up AC Milan at the end of last season. The 33-year-old becomes new coach Cesare Prandelli's third recruit following the loan arrivals of Valencia CF midfielder Stefano Fiore and goalkeeper Sébastien Frey from Parma FC.
Lupatelli leaves
While Frey moves to Florence, Fiorentina custodian Cristiano Lupatelli travels in the opposite direction. The 27-year-old former AS Roma and AC Chievo Verona No1 has joined the Gialloblù on a season's loan with the option of a permanent deal.
