Fiorentina have officially confirmed that defender Pietro Comuzzo has signed a contract extension through 2029, with an option until 2030—dealing a blow to Milan, Juventus, and Inter’s transfer hopes.
Who Is Pietro Comuzzo and Why Is He in Demand?
Pietro Comuzzo, a 20-year-old centre-back who broke into Fiorentina’s first team during the 2024–25 season, has been one of Serie A’s standout young defenders.
His consistent performances earned him a first senior call-up from Italy boss Luciano Spalletti earlier this year.
As a result, Comuzzo had been heavily linked with Milan and Juventus, both clubs eager to bring in young Italian defenders as part of their summer rebuilds. Inter were also monitoring the situation closely
Comuzzo Fiorentina Contract
The new deal runs until June 2029, with an optional extension through 2030, and includes a significant wage bump for the defender.
Fiorentina’s decision to lock him down long-term makes any summer transfer highly unlikely—unless an elite-level offer arrives.
That’s especially frustrating for Milan, who are reeling from a failed season and had shortlisted Comuzzo as a key domestic signing to stabilise their defence.
Juventus, too, are seeking long-term successors to their ageing backline, while Inter had identified Comuzzo as a potential reinforcement for their Club World Cup squad.
Could Fiorentina Still Sell Comuzzo in the Summer Transfer Window?
Technically, yes—but it won’t come cheap. Comuzzo may not have featured as regularly in the second half of the season, but his value has skyrocketed.
Fiorentina’s stance is clear: they will only entertain substantial bids, and even then, the player’s own decision will factor heavily into any move.
Inter’s transfer team, led by Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio, remain interested, but they know a summer deal would be complicated unless Fiorentina change their position.
How Many Games Has Comuzzo Played for Fiorentina?
As of mid-May, Comuzzo has already made 48 senior appearances for Fiorentina across Serie A, the UEFA Conference League, and the Coppa Italia. That’s a remarkable tally for a player who only made his top-flight debut in October 2023 at age 18.
His rapid rise has earned comparisons to other recent Italian defensive breakouts like Giorgio Scalvini and Riccardo Calafiori.
Comuzzo Contract: Fiorentina Statement
In a statement released on their official website, the club wrote, “ACF Fiorentina announces that the footballer Pietro Comuzzo has renewed his contract, which binds him to the Viola club until 2029 with an option, in favour of Fiorentina, until 2030.
“Comuzzo, who grew up in the Viola youth sector, made his Serie A debut in a Fiorentina shirt at just 18 years old in October 2023 and since then has made 48 appearances between Serie A, the Conference League and Coppa Italia, and has even earned a call-up to the senior Italy national team.”
With Comuzzo’s future temporarily settled, Fiorentina will now look to reinforce around him—whether he stays or not. Much could still depend on the club’s performance in Europe and the transfer activity of bigger Serie A rivals like Inter and Milan.
For now, the club’s fans can breathe easy knowing that one of their brightest young stars is tied down long-term—though that may not stop top clubs from knocking on the door.
