Fiorentina signs youth defender Dennis Beldenti as club eyes future talent

Fiorentina completed the acquisition of 13‑year‑old central defender Dennis Beldenti from Union Brescia for an estimated €1 million. The club plans to place the promising defender in its Primavera squad with the prospect of first‑team appearances next season, aiming to stay ahead of rival Serie A clubs that had also shown interest.

In addition to the confirmed signing, Fiorentina is evaluating further defensive and midfield options. The scouting list includes Spanish left‑back Hugo Bueno, a 2002‑born player currently owned by Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada, who recently featured for Crystal Palace and is a World Cup participant. The club’s management is assessing the feasibility and financial sustainability of any potential deals as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.
