Lazio and Fiorentina searched for wingers in January, and Bryan Gil landed in their crosshairs, but they were both unable to convince him to join. The Spaniard would have left Tottenham had he found the right destination since he’s not getting many minutes, Calciomercato reported.
The attacker spent time at Valencia and Sevilla in previous seasons. If he were to depart again, he wanted a team that would sign him on loan with a manageable option to buy, or preferably an obligation to make the transfer permanent.
Lazio and Fiorentina decided against such a formula for Gil. They preferred not to commit for the future. Brighton made the final attempt, and the youngster might have accepted a simple temporary spell, but they didn’t persuade Tottenham.
The Viola spent deadline day trying to talk Genoa into selling Albert Gudmundsson, but they didn’t manage despite a robust offer, around €25M including add-ons. Instead, the Biancocelesti came to terms with Fenerbahce for the acquisition of Ryan Kent. However, there wasn’t enough time to settle some outstanding issues between his entourage and the Turkish team.
Our Take on Fiorentina, Lazio, and Gil
He would have been an okay flier for his agility, but he hasn’t done much in recent campaigns, so the reluctance was well motivated. On the other hand, both teams would have benefitted from adding a winger, especially the Gigliati. They should have turned their attention to different targets sooner since getting Gudmundsson was always farfetched.
