Michael Kayode travels to Premier League side Brentford

Florence, 18 January 2025 - No news. At least in terms of revenue, the market of Fiorentina is in a waiting phase. It was an interlocutory Friday and the feeling is that not much will happen until the new week. It is unlikely that anything will move during the weekend of matches. On the way out, something has moved around Kayode. Fiorentina could decide to sell him, but only on loan. The pharaonic offers feared last summer have not arrived, the Viola directors have never even been convinced to sell him permanently. So the idea of ​​a loan has made its way. And on this condition, several clubs are interested. But Fiorentina has opened a privileged channel with the Brentford. 'Kayo' could thus play the rest of this season in the Premier League.

The rest tells of the 'usual' market stagnating around IKONE. The most credible track for Jorko's permanent farewell is that of Paris FC, the club where his friend Maxime Lopez plays. It would be six months in Ligue 2, but with the prospect of promotion within reach. A scenario not ruled out a priori by the Viola winger, who is certainly not easy to convince to leave Florence. Daniele Pradè has known about it since last summer. The money from his transfer would probably be used to improve the offer to Botafogo for Luiz Henrique. No news from Brazil. The agreement with the player has been in place for days, but not with Textor's club. In this puzzle of interlocking pieces, he remains in a backwater Dennis Man, logically closely linked to the Henrique affair. The outside of the Parma he would certainly like to move to Viola and finding an agreement on the salary would not be a problem. Parma asking for 15 million euros. Fiorentina valuing him a little less, but in the end an agreement could also be found with the dukes.

Finally Pablo Mari, excluded from Bocchetti's squad for the trip to Bologna. Something in defense will happen over the next few days, perhaps right around February. There is a virtual handshake with the Spanish center whose contract with Monza expires and several situations on the way out are to be monitored. That of the two Argentines, Moreno and Valentini, but also that of Marin pongracic. Fiorentina could choose to send him on loan to try to recover him for next season. Bologna has made an inquiry.
