Fiorentina, The Midnight Strike - Decisive days for the midfielder. New name in attack.

Florence, July 21, 2025 - It will be a busy week for Fiorentina , with Daniele Pradè and Roberto Goretti working to give a concrete boost to the transfer market. The main objective, at the moment, is not so much the acquisition of new players as the disposal of surplus players. Nzola , followed by Genoa, Pisa, and Parma, and Ikoné , targeted by Pisa and Cremonese, are the most popular players. Freeing them from their salaries is a priority for the club. It's difficult to think of selling the others at the moment. Brekalo, Infantino, and Sabiri will be loaned out later. Barak hopes to stay, but has not yet been part of the team's training sessions.

Cristian Volpato, Fiorentina's latest attacking idea

Only after reducing the wage bill can we truly consider signings. In midfield, the closest name is Simon Sohm : Fiorentina is pursuing him with interest, but Parma is asking for at least €20 million, while Fiorentina are considering a deal between €10 and €12 million. A compromise will be necessary to get negotiations underway. The Emilian club has not vetoed the player's departure, unlike what happened with Bernabé. And Fiorentina can calmly wait for the price to drop. Other midfield options remain, such as Kessie, Asllani, and Larsson , intriguing names but complicated by financial considerations.

In attack, the name of Cristian Volpato , born in 2003, has surfaced in the last few hours. The attacking midfielder, capable of operating on the right flank, is on his way out, and Fiorentina has already made inquiries: his asking price starts at €15 million. The prospect is attractive and fits into the Viola's strategy of targeting young Italian talent. Volpato represents a concrete alternative to Sebastiano Esposito , another name the Viola management has been pursuing for some time, but has yet to make a move. In any case, the intention is clear: Fiorentina wants to add another attacking player, regardless of Beltran's future, which, like Sottil, remains uncertain. These two players will need to make the most of their training camp and tour of England to convince Pioli. So far, no concrete offers have been received for either of them. Torino has made inquiries about Sottil, but has yet to make a move. River Plate still offers Beltran a loan deal, but neither Fiorentina nor Viking are convinced.
