Limited success
The 29-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Mestalla by coach Quique Sánchez Flores and completed his move after passing a medical today. The Italian international scored three times in 13 outings for Valencia last season after joining on a four-year contract.
Fiore back
Corradi's return to his homeland mirrors that of his former S.S. Lazio club colleague Stefano Fiore, who has also returned to Italy on a one-year loan deal with ACF Fiorentina. Both players joined Valencia from Lazio as part of a €16.6m deal in July 2004.
