Negotiations over João Mario’s future shifted from a stalemate in late June 2026 to a concrete loan deal by late July. Juventus agreed to send the right‑back to Fiorentina for the 2026‑27 season on a season‑long loan, with an €8‑9 million purchase option and a resale profit‑share clause for Porto. On 25 July 2026 Juventus submitted a formal bid to Fiorentina, and talks were reported as being in an advanced stage, likely to conclude within the week. The loan is seen as a way for Juventus to trim the squad and cut wage costs after Mario made only ten Serie A appearances since joining from Porto in summer 2025. The agreement solidifies Fiorentina as Mario’s immediate destination and provides a clear pathway for a permanent transfer. Further details released on 25 July confirm the loan includes a €1 million fee and an option to buy for around €8 million. Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti continued to pursue additional signings, while other Serie A clubs remained active in the market.
