Fiorentina have identified Michael Folorunsho as their top transfer target for the January window, following a first half of the season where the player found himself on the fringes at Napoli. This interest has intensified, particularly in light of Edoardo Bove’s unavailability.
Calciomercato report that the Viola are exploring various options to secure Folorunsho’s services. With the potential Biraghi-Spinazzola swap deal losing momentum and Martinez Quarta likely heading back to River Plate, Fiorentina is considering a loan deal with an obligation to buy. This obligation could be tied to certain performance-based conditions in the second half of the season.
Napoli, however, would prefer an outright sale of the player. Folorunsho’s current situation at Napoli underscores the need for a move, having played just 111 minutes this season across 7 appearances in all competitions, with only one start. This limited playing time stands in stark contrast to his prominent role at Verona in the 2023/24 season.
