Fiorentina to Acquire Milan Outcast, Eye More Big Moves

Fiorentina have struck a deal to sign Yacine Adli from Milan. The midfielder thought about it, as Olympique Marseille were after him too, but eventually accepted. He’ll join on loan with a €13M obligation to buy. He’s on his way to Tuscany for the medicals, Calciomercato reports.

The 24-year-old came in for nearly €9M three years ago, spending an extra year on loan at Bordeaux. He has had a seesawing stay at San Siro and wasn’t part of Paulo Fonseca’s plans. He wasn’t called up for the first two games.

Fiorentina want to finish strong and, in addition to Adli, they are tracking Union Berlin’s Robin Gosens and Belgrano’s Matias Moreno, Gianluca Di Marzio reports. The veteran tallied 7 goals and 4 assists last season and is pushing to return to Italy. Torino couldn’t convince him and his club earlier in the summer. Moreover, the Viola tabled a €4M bid for the young Argentinian defender.

The Gigliati were in advanced talks with Juventus concerning the acquisition of Filip Kostic. Per Tuttomercatoweb, the parties reached an agreement in principle on a loan with a €4M obligation to buy. On the other hand, the prospective buyers are having second thoughts as their faithful heavily criticized their deals with their rivals in the recent home game.

Our Take on Fiorentina, Adli, and Their Other Targets

They surely have a few holes to fill, and they are in a tough situation as the outcome of the Conference League playoffs will be massive to determine how deep they need to be. They won’t have much time to react after it. The Milan outcast is a good fit as they lacked creativity in the midfield.
