Fiorentina considers tactical changes and new goalkeeper recruitment
Fiorentina is evaluating several internal adjustments to address performance issues during the current season. One proposed tactical shift involves utilizing Pedro Gonçalves in a ‘false nine’ role to improve the team's scoring output. However, statistical data indicates that the Portuguese player has primarily played as a left winger throughout his career, with very limited experience in a central attacking position.
In addition to tactical considerations, the club is reportedly planning to sign a new goalkeeper during the January transfer window. This move comes amid uncertainty regarding the future of David De Gea, whose high salary and age may lead the club to consider offers for the Spanish goalkeeper. While no specific replacements have been named, the club appears to be weighing whether to introduce competition in the winter or pursue a more significant change in the position.
