Fiorentina, the midnight blow. Goodbye Henrique, all about Man. Sanabria the deputy Kean

Florence, 18 January 2025 - The countdown continues. The end of the winter transfer window is approaching and for Fiorentina it is time to start closing the circle. Today is the match against Torino, which is fundamental to get out of the crisis and resume a European discussion that is fundamental for Commisso's club. At Franchi, at lunchtime, there will also be an opportunity for the managers of the two teams to meet. On the bridge there is the exchange between Sanabria e Kouame, which will occupy the headlines of the first few days of the week. Once the Ivorian striker opened up to the transfer, the deal went downhill. Sanabria had already given his yes to Fiorentina days ago. Only a difference of a few hundred thousand euros on the two salaries still needs to be filed down. But anyway, the deal will be done and Palladino will thus have his deputy Kean. A striker in his role. Who certainly doesn't score in bursts (otherwise Torino would have kept him) but can be useful in the second part of the season. Kouame will say goodbye to Florence and will try to carve out a leading role for himself in the Granata. Then, and here we are around Tuesday, it will be the turn of the sale of Michael Kayode al Brentford. We have reported the situation in the last few days and it has not changed. Fiorentina has decided to let him go, at least for the next six months. Brentford is ready to welcome him on a onerous loan (we are talking about around 500.000 euros), it remains to be seen whether the 'Bees' will also have a right of redemption. But the objective of the Viola club is still to maintain control over the winger's contract. Eventually there would also be a counter-redemption value in the agreement. Late yesterday evening it was understood that Luiz Henrique is destined to remain only a dream. The exterior of the Botafogo is about to move to Zenit St. Petersburg for 35 million euros. An unmatched offer for Fiorentina, who tried but stopped at around 20 million plus bonuses. At this point, the Viola will already turn in the next few hours to Dennis Man. Parma's offensive wildcard (currently training separately due to back pain) can't wait to land in Florence. Ducali value him at 15 million, Fiorentina would like to spend 12 plus some bonuses. But an agreement should be found quickly, not only for the player's registration but also for the Romanian player's salary. We are now entering the hottest days of the winter market, with Fiorentina still having to make several deals. And with the Henrique joke that is now one step away from being certified.
