Pradè's double move. Esposito, the Viola are there. Fazzini: a 10 million yes

The new name is one of those that stimulate the imagination for the present and above all for the future. Francesco Pio Esposito is the centre forward who has ended up in the sights of the Fiorentina managers. An extraordinary season at Spezia, with 19 goals scored and a lot of substance. The general public still has to get used to knowing him, but the impression is that among the Esposito brothers he is the one with the most room for growth. Even more than Sebastiano, busy with Inter in the Club World Cup but who played last season with Empoli. Born in 2005, you can already bet on Francesco Pio with your eyes closed. For this reason, Fiorentina he began to inform himself. Armored by theInter with a contract until 2030, but the feeling that he is not unsellable is spreading through the environment. The Nerazzurri will renew the attack, it remains to be seen whether he will also be included in the four strikers available to Chivu. Because otherwise he will be the first to ask to go and play, this time in Serie A after the beautiful championship in Liguria. Hence the sirens linked to Fiorentina. There is talk of a loan with a particularly high right of redemption. Certainly more than 30 million euros. Money that is useful to Inter. It is an idea that has been circulating in the last few hours, with Fiorentina thus demonstrating that they want to move on two tracks: on one side the experience (Dzeko), on the other the freshness of a player who promises very well.

And the negotiation for this also fits into this context Jacopo Fazzini, another gem currently busy in the Under 21 European Championship with the Azzurrini in Slovakia. Fiorentina has been keeping an eye on him for some time, Pradè would have taken him in January if the conditions had been right. But Empoli did not want to give him away so as not to raise the white flag in the race for salvation before time. Fiorentina's market is intertwined with the usual teams. Bologna, Lazio, this time Napoli also seems to be there. Many like Fazzini, but he has attentive admirers around Viola Park. A name to keep an eye on in view of a revolution in midfield. Valuation: 10 million plus bonuses. Bennacer resists as an idea and little more, Frendrup costs a fortune (over 20 million).

And Kean? Could the Esposito idea have been born out of fear of losing Moise? Possibly, although it is still too early to say. Certainly there are some Arab polls that have not warmed up the Viola striker. Manchester United and Milan remain in the background. But the impression is that Moise is waiting for something else. Top European clubs to return to play in the Champions League. Otherwise Fiorentina is fine.
