Robin Gosens has officially become a Fiorentina player, marking an exciting new chapter in his career. His agent, Gianluca Mancini, recently shared some behind-the-scenes details of the transfer in an interview with Radio Sportiva.
Mancini revealed that Gosens was eager to return to Italy, a country he has grown to love. While Bologna and Torino had shown interest, it was Fiorentina’s offer that proved irresistible. “You don’t say no to Fiorentina,” Mancini stated, expressing their satisfaction with the move.
The agent believes Fiorentina has significantly strengthened its squad during this transfer window. He sees the team as capable of aiming for European competition, which he considers the minimum objective. However, Mancini went further, suggesting that under their current coach, who he describes as having innovative ideas and who strongly desired Gosens, Fiorentina could be the surprise package of the season.
Gosens’ enthusiasm for the move was evident. Mancini shared, “As soon as he heard about Fiorentina, the player told me he wanted to accept and leave immediately.” Interestingly, the agent also mentioned that two weeks prior, before any negotiations had begun, Gosens had expressed a desire to buy a farmhouse in Tuscany. “It was destiny,” Mancini concluded.
