Fiorentina won the Andrea Colpani race, which wasn’t particularly busy as the top Italian teams preferred targeting other players. They are plotting other big moves to restoke their midfield. They are keen on Weston McKennie, Cesare Casadei, and Jens-Lys Cajuste.
Per Calciomercato, the trequartista was the only direct request by his former coach Raffaele Palladino. He’s joining on a season-long loan with a €4M initial fee and a €12M option to buy. Lazio and Olympique Marseille had been poking around lately.
Colpani heads to Fiorentina after recording 12 goals and 5 assists in 65 matches with Monza in the last two seasons. The Atalanta product spent four consecutive campaigns in Brianza. According to Sky, La Viola plots multiple coups to address their midfield. It’s tracking several outcasts and Venezia’s Tanner Tessmann.
The USMNT staple just reported back to Italy after the Copa America. He’s very available as he has just a year on his contract with Juventus. They tried to insert him in the Douglas Luiz deal. There have been no talks between the two sides at this stage, Alfredo Pedullà informs. He could be on the move permanently for €15M or a little less.
Our Take on Fiorentina and Colpani
His second-half swoon and the fact that he’s not a starlet helped them out, as he would have been much more expensive and coveted otherwise. The fit next to Nicolas Gonzalez isn’t squeaky clean, but it shouldn’t be a big issue. They only have Rolando Mandragora in the midfield. They need a ton of work there, and they can go in whichever direction they like.
