Fiorentina assesses Kean clause expiry and adds midfield reinforcements

Fiorentina confirmed that the €62 million release clause for striker Moise Kean has expired, meaning the club can consider offers in the €30‑40 million range for the 2000‑born forward, who is continuing his rehabilitation after a tibia injury. The club’s sporting director, Fabio Grosso, alongside manager Vincenzo Paratici, is planning a midfield overhaul, targeting players such as Oulai, Fagioli and the newly signed Arthur Atta, who chose Fiorentina over Milan because he believes in the project.

Midfielder Cher Ndour reflected on last season’s “dramatic” struggle for survival, saying a change of formation was the turning point and expressing pride in the confidence shown by Paratici. Youth prospect Luis Balbo has drawn interest from Austrian side Sturm Graz, which is monitoring the Venezuelan winger for a possible offer. Overall, Fiorentina is weighing its wage bill and potential departures while aiming to build a Champions‑League‑calibre midfield.

The club’s transfer strategy also mentions possible targets like Bakayoko and Ruggeri, and the possibility of adding an extra‑EU player, highlighting a broader effort to strengthen the squad while managing finances.
