Fiorentina is unleashed on the market: Palladino can rejoice, three strikes ready
Fiorentina scatenata sul mercato: pronti altri tre colpi, c’è anche un azzurro di Spalletti – Serieanews
Palladino’s Fiorentina are having a surprising season, finding themselves in sixth place in Serie A with 36 points, just three less than Lazio, who occupy the fourth position. In the midst of the fight for a Champions League spot and with their eyes also on the European cups, the Viola do not want to be found unprepared.
Thus, the management decided to pounce on the winter market to strengthen the team and continue to strive at the highest level. The will is clear: to give Palladino a competitive squad that can aim for even more ambitious goals in the second half of the season.
So far, the Tuscan club has already landed two major strikes. First, the arrival of Folorunsho from Napoli has been made official. The midfielder, required to give freshness and dynamism to the midfield, is ready to bring his contribution to the purple cause. A purchase that fits into a precise plan to reinforce the midfield, an area of the field that Fiorentina wanted to strengthen in order to better face the most difficult challenges.
Not only midfield: the defense also saw a graft, with the arrival of Pablo Marì from Monza. The defender, who has already shown his qualities in Serie A, adds to a back line that needs more experience and solidity, especially in the most intense matches of the season. Fiorentina has thus taken the first step in a market that does not seem destined to stop here.
Cessione di Comuzzo e i possibili sostituti: Ghilardi o Coppola?
The real news in the purple market, however, could come from the possible sale of Comuzzo, the central defender who could move to Napoli for a sum around 30 million euros. Should this transaction materialize, Fiorentina has already identified ideal replacements.

Two young Verona defenders, Daniele Ghilardi and Diego Coppola, are in the sights of the purple leadership. Both class of 2003, Ghilardi and Coppola are considered by Fiorentina’s top brass to be two talents to be cultivated, with the possibility of inserting them into the defensive rotation right away, ahead of the second half of the season. Their young age and growth potential make them perfect for the team’s long-term project.
Centrocampo ed attacco: due obiettivi importanti
In addition to defense, Fiorentina is also looking at other reinforcements to make the roster even more complete. Nicolò Fagioli, a Juventus midfielder, is one of the main targets. According to rumors, Fiorentina is trying to close a negotiation with the Bianconeri.

Juventus, however, does not seem willing to sell Fagioli on loan, but prefers a permanent transfer for about 13-15 million euros. For Fiorentina, the idea would be to include a buy-back obligation clause, a formula that could please both parties.
Finally, the violet club is also looking for a vice-Kean, that is, a striker who can join the team as an alternative to the young center forward. The new name circulating persistently is that of Chuba Akpom, a 1995-class striker currently with Ajax.
Akpom has scored 8 goals in 31 games this season, but he does not fit into the plans of coach Farioli, who considers him the third striker in his squad, behind Brobbey and Weghorst. Fiorentina has already set its sights on him, but will have to deal with competition from clubs such as Lille and Sunderland, which have shown interest in the player. Nevertheless, Fiorentina is determined to bring him under Palladino’s management, seeing in him an interesting profile for the future.
With the market still in full swing, the coming weeks could hold more surprises for purple fans. Fiorentina is ready to play its cards, and who knows if the soccer market does not become the springboard for an even more scintillating second half of the season.
