Fiorentina, The Midnight Strike. The Mandragora Days. Endrick emerges in attack

Florence, 8 July 2025 - Fiorentina 's transfer market is in full reflection, with many movements linked to one name above all: Moise Kean . The national team's centre-forward is at the centre of much attention, but around him - despite the fact that some of the "famous" fifteen days of the release clause have already passed - a dead calm still reigns.
Daniele Pradè, however, remains vigilant: if a concrete offer were to arrive, Fiorentina would not be caught unprepared. For this reason, Roberto Piccoli 's name remains on the notebook. Same agent as Kean, frequent contacts and a negotiation that could heat up if Moise goes elsewhere. The young Cagliari striker waits with confidence, even if at the moment the entire Viola market is in a stalemate.
A similar discussion concerns Sebastiano Esposito . The negotiation with Inter is well underway and there do not seem to be any obstacles: the agreement is around 6-7 million euros plus bonuses. However, to close the deal another situation must first be unblocked: that of Lucas Beltrán who could free up the necessary space in attack. At the moment, however, there is silence on that front too.
The classic domino effect between strikers, in short, has yet to start. If on the Kean-Piccoli front everything remains in the balance - with the risk that any developments will arrive only after the clause expires - the arrival of Esposito seems only a matter of time. A decision, that of the young striker, also matured with the support of the new coach Stefano Pioli. In the evening, from Rome, the suggestion of Endrick bounced back, a Brazilian talent from Real Madrid that Fiorentina would ask for on loan in the event of Kean's farewell.
Meanwhile, the time for the official announcement for Edin Dzeko is finally approaching. The Bosnian striker has been expected for weeks, but the official announcement has been postponed due to some contractual formalities related to bonuses. There is no danger, however: the marriage with Fiorentina is a done deal. After the signature and the ritual photos, Dzeko will be ready to make himself available for the summer retreat at Viola Park.
The next ones will be Rolando Mandragora 's hours. A meeting is possible today to discuss the contract renewal with the player's entourage. Betis is watching from afar. Rolando's priority is to stay in Florence but the renewal will also have to materialize, otherwise the parties will lean towards a separation.
