Viola 2025 begins like this. New Year's Eve with the fans. And Folorunsho closer
Open-door training at Franchi to prepare for the match against Napoli. Transfer market: the first moves are coming. Ideas from Marì and Luiz Henrique. Valentini in town.
It will be a New Year's Eve in the name of Fiorentina for fans who want to follow the training of Palladino's team at 14.30 pm. The club has in fact decided to open the doors of the Franchi to its people. Fans will be able to access the stadium from the Maratona sector starting at 13.45 pm. It will be a way to greet the new year together with the team and to start preparing for Saturday's challenge against Napoli. When the session of transfer market winter season will have already begun. And Fiorentina seems to want to quickly sort out a couple of roles. Beyond Valentini (expected in the next few hours), yesterday the negotiations for Folorunsho because the player has opened up to a loan. The Viola will reserve a right of redemption of around 8-9 million euros and this is a situation that could go to pieces very quickly. The Napoli midfielder is the one identified for weeks to replace Bove. This season at Conte's court he has found very little space: only six snippets for him in Serie A and one game as a starter in the Coppa Italia. Not much for a player who had shown he could be decisive at Verona.
Movements also in defense, where Quarta always remains one step away from River Plate and where a placement for Biraghi is also being sought. To reinforce the defense of the lilies, instead, there could be Pablo Mari. An element that Palladino knows and respects. A player who is certainly not a top player, but reliable and at the right price. In order to let him go, Monza must first find a replacement. In the meantime, the name of Luiz Henrique, Botafogo star awarded as best player of the Copa Libertadores. Offensive winger who can play on the right but also on the left. Born in 2001, an absolutely interesting profile that already costs around 20 million. Fiorentina has presented the first offer to open the negotiations. Not a simple operation but certainly fascinating.
