Sources: 103. Developments: 38. Moise Kean has officially completed his move from Fiorentina to Como 1907. The deal is structured as a loan with an obligatory purchase clause, totaling approximately €40 million including fees and performance-based bonuses. Kean joins Como following a productive stint at Fiorentina, where he scored 27 goals in 59 Serie A appearances. He becomes the ninth new addition to the Como squad under manager Cesc Fàbregas. In response to Kean’s departure and the approaching transfer deadline, Fiorentina has pivoted its recruitment strategy. The club has secured the arrivals of Beto and Gnonto to bolster the attacking line. Following these moves, Fiorentina is now focusing on midfield reinforcements to address squad depth concerns raised by coach Fabio Grosso. Potential targets to align with the team’s tactical requirements include Mandragora, Torreira, or Thorstvedt. ## Claims - Fiorentina has set a €40 million price for a potential sale of Moise Kean.
