Fiorentina Consider Swoop For Free Agent Josh Brownhill

Start

The latest Josh Brownhill transfer news has revealed that Fiorentina are set to reignite their interest in the English midfielder. 

Brownhill starred for Burnley last season where he scored 18 times as the Clarets clinched the runner-up spot in the EFL Championship. Thus securing their return to the Premier League.

The 29-year-old is currently without a club after he decided to leave Turf Moor upon the expiry of his contract in June. Interest in Brownhill has been plentiful but he is still looking for employment ahead of the new season.

Josh Brownhill Transfer News

According to the fastest payout betting sites, the prices have shortened on Josh Brownhill to leave English football. However, that eventuality can’t be completely ruled out.

Premier League duo Everton and Wolves have been most recently linked with the midfield ace. The Toffees have released a number of players this summer and David Moyes is keen to add reinforcements.

In particular in the middle of the park. A goalscorer of Brownhill’s pedigree would be ideally suited to Moyes’ style of play as the Blues embark on a new era at their Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Meanwhile, Wolves have only added Fer Lopez and completed the permanent transfer of Jorgen Strand Larsen this summer. Head coach Vítor Pereira has been keeping tabs on Brownhill for the majority of 2025.

Is Toronto FC In The Race For Josh Brownhill?

Another reason the odds have decreased on Josh Brownhill to leave England  is owing to Toronto FC’s interest. The MLS side currently have two Designated Player spots to fill.

The Eastern Conference soccer club will spare no expense in their pursuit of Brownhill. Reports suggest club representatives have met the player in person to present their long-term project.

It’s unknown at this stage whether Brownhill will transfer to North America. The 29-year-old has a line of potential suitors to navigate over but the Reds are certainly in the running.

Will Fiorentina Sign Josh Brownhill?

Last week, a FootItalia exclusive revealed that Fiorentina was considering a move for recently-released Man United star Victor Lindelof.

Now, the Viola are also set to reignite their interest in Josh Brownhill. Although last seasons 7th-placed side have recently signed fellow central midfielders Nicolo Fagioli and Jacopo Fazzini, the free agent is high on the club’s wishlist.

In December, Fiorentina and Lazio were considering offering Brownhill a pre-contract whilst his Burnley future remained uncertain. The latter’s interest has since waned.

Now that the 29-year-old is unattached, the Viola have ramped up their efforts to sign Brownhill and believe they can offer what it takes to secure his signature.
