The market around Jacopo Fazzini will take off after the end of the Under 21 European Championship, at least as far as Nunziata's Azzurrini are concerned. But rumors have started to multiply around the Empoli talent. One thing is certain: he won't stay in Serie B. Corsi knows he has to sell him and starting an auction worth millions, when we're not even in July, could be a good strategy for him.

With Torino having withdrawn, Napoli, Lazio, Bologna and Fiorentina are left with Fazzini. And watch out for the Viola, who have been following the midfielder from Massa for several months. If the conditions had been right, Pradè would have signed him in January. It was one of those ideas in the basket to replace Bove. Empoli's requests were excessive at the time, Fiorentina turned to Folorunsho. Now, however, the Fazzini issue is back in the news. A versatile player, a mezzala or an attacking midfielder. He can see the goal, has geometry and pace. Pioli would find him useful in the 3-5-2 he has in mind for his new Fioentina. Daniele Pradè will continue to work on him behind the scenes.
