Fiorentina unleashed on the market: new Haaland arrives
Fiorentina, arriva il nuovo Haaland: 20 milioni e veste il viola – Serieanews
The recent triumph against Lazio was a breath of fresh air for Fiorentina, which after a difficult period–only 2 points in the previous 4 days–has finally found success again in a real direct clash for Champions League qualification.
With 36 points in the standings, the Viola currently find themselves in sixth place, but with European ambitions that are by no means far off. The victory against Lazio, although coming after a less than inspiring period, is a clear sign of how Raffaele Palladino’s team is still capable of competing at high levels.
The positive inertia could act as a boost for the rest of the season, but the club is already preparing for January to face the second half of the season with a more complete squad capable of sustaining the fight for Champions League qualification. In this context, the winter market becomes a crucial point, and Fiorentina is working on several negotiations.
Fiorentina, il nuovo Haaland ha 19 anni
With the league getting into full swing, Fiorentina is looking to reinforce itself, and one of the hottest targets is young Stefanos Tzimas, born in 2006 and currently playing for Nürnberg in the Zweite Bundesliga. With 10 goals so far, the Greek center forward has become one of the most promising prospects in Europe, and the head of the purple youth sector, Valentino Angeloni, has been following him for years.

Fiorentina has decided to accelerate, putting on the plate an amount between 22 and 23 million euros to secure his services. The player, who has already shown great value away from home, has stood out for his ability to not be a simple 9 from the penalty area, but a complete striker capable of coming to the team and participating in the construction of the game. A figure who could be right for Fiorentina, and who represents an investment not only for the present, but especially for the future.
Nürnberg, which plays in the German second division, is now at a crossroads: to sell Tzimas for about 4-5 million euros in January, or to wait until the end of the season, with the risk that other teams will increase their interest in the young striker. Not an easy decision for the German club, which could prove decisive for the immediate future of Fiorentina, which hopes not to find itself involved in an expensive summer auction. In any case, Fiorentina is preparing for a possible new arrival who could make a difference in attack.
Il mercato viola: colpi in entrata e uscite strategiche
But it is not only inbound that the purple club is active. On the outgoing side, there are several situations to be monitored. One of the most imminent operations concerns Jonathan Ikoné, who seems destined to leave Florence with the formula of an onerous loan to Como, with the right of redemption set at 8 million euros, plus a bonus.

This divestment would free up resources to invest elsewhere, but at the same time it would deprive Fiorentina of a player who has alternated good moments with periods of uncertainty. Kouamé, after an uninspiring start to the season, has also ended up in Torino’s sights, and his sale could become one of the final moves in the purple market, which will have to balance inputs with outputs.
Fiorentina, cessioni per finanziare i rinforzi
The winter market is always a minefield, and Fiorentina is in a delicate position. The arrival of Tzimas could be a major blow, but it may not be the only one, with the Viola ready to move further to improve the team ahead of the second half of the season. However, every move will have to be carefully weighed to avoid weakening the group at a crucial time.
The disposals of Ikoné and Kouamé are moves that could lighten the squad, but also allow Fiorentina to finance any other purchases. In this context, it will be crucial for the management to make wise choices, aiming to strengthen the offensive department without compromising the solidity of the team.
And should the Tzimas deal go through, Fiorentina could indeed find itself with a potential new Haaland, but with the knowledge that the road to Champions League qualification is still long and full of pitfalls
