Fiorentina’s pursuit of Michael Folorunsho is nearing its conclusion, with the transfer from Napoli expected to be finalised this week. The Viola have long identified the Italian midfielder as the ideal candidate to bolster Raffaele Palladino’s midfield options.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how, for several weeks, Fiorentina have been working diligently to structure a deal that would bring Folorunsho to Florence. The proposed agreement is taking shape as a loan with an option to buy, a formula that appears to satisfy both clubs.
Folorunsho, who has found playing time limited at Napoli under Antonio Conte, is eager for a move that could reignite his career and potentially secure his place in the national team following his Euro 2024 experience. The 26-year-old midfielder impressed during his loan spell at Hellas Verona last season, contributing significantly to their survival in Serie A with five goals in 34 appearances.
Fiorentina’s interest in Folorunsho dates back to the summer, and the club’s persistence is now on the verge of paying off. The Tuscan side sees the dynamic midfielder as a key addition to their squad as they aim to compete on multiple fronts this season.
