Fiorentina completes striker deals for Pellegrino and Piccoli
Fiorentina has completed a significant striker reshuffle involving Mateo Pellegrino and Roberto Piccoli. The club has officially acquired Argentine forward Mateo Pellegrino from Parma in a deal worth approximately €24.5 million, including bonuses. Pellegrino, who scored 12 goals last season, has signed a five-year contract through 2031 and is expected to compete for a starting role alongside Moise Kean.
As part of the linked transactions, Fiorentina has sent Roberto Piccoli to Bologna on a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy. The transfer fee for Piccoli is set at €18 million, plus additional bonuses, contingent on Bologna remaining in Serie A. Fiorentina will also retain a 10% sell-on clause for any future resale of the player.
These moves are part of a broader movement of attacking players within Serie A, which also includes Bologna preparing to facilitate Thijs Dallinga’s move to Köln to accommodate Piccoli’s arrival.
