Fiorentina Transfer Market Enters Key Phase as Nicolò Fortini Case Emerges. Daniel Maldini Rise as Alternative.

Nicolà Fortini Fiorentina Contract Situation

The Viola market is entering a phase of strategic reflection, with several dossiers open and choices to be carefully considered. At the heart of the matter is Nicolà Fortini’s contract.

The full-back, born in 2006 and currently with Fiorentina until 2027, has attracted the interest of several clubs.

With no signs of a renewal, his transfer value is estimated at between €15 and €20 million.

If he leaves, Parisi would go back to the left flank permanently, and the management would have to step in and buy some attacking wingers.

Daniel Maldini’s name is still in the running, with his team and sporting director Goretti getting along well. But it’d take around €15 million.

Fiorentina Transfer Market at a Turning Point. Daniel Maldini Is On

But Atalanta’s Percassi spoke before yesterday’s match, which the Orobici lost 2-3 to Athletic Bilbao, and said:

“Our goal was to grab a chance with Raspadori, who we’d been following for a while and liked. Then, as for departures, we’ll have to wait and see what happens in the last few days of the transfer market.”

The Viola management is actively seeking a left-footed defender.

They view as a key part of the team to ensure they are well-covered defensively and have more tactical options in the second half of the season.

Defensive Targets and Vanoli’s Requests

The situation’s also got something to do with what’s going to happen with Luca Ranieri.

His agent, Mario Giuffredi, has said that the player wouldn’t rule out leaving, even though the club doesn’t seem keen on the idea right now.

Just to be on the safe side, Fiorentina has already had a look at a few options.

One of them is Sikou Niakatè of Braga. The Viola had tried to set up a loan deal with an option to buy, but the Portuguese club’s insistence on a mandatory buyout clause put a spanner in the works.

Paratici and Goretti aren’t convinced about the Englishman, Eric Dier, former Tottenham player who’s at Monaco at the moment.

The path to Diogo Leite of Union Berlin, born in 1999, is still solid: teams view him as a financially viable profile with his contract ending in June.
