Fiorentina have officially announced the arrival of Nicolas Valentini, marking the beginning of 2025 with a significant addition to their squad. The former Boca Juniors defender has put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the club until 2029.
The 23-year-old Argentine center-back arrived in Florence on January 1st, 2025, to begin his new journey with the Viola. Valentini’s signing comes after his contract with Boca Juniors expired at the end of December 2024, allowing him to join Fiorentina on a free transfer.
In their official statement, Fiorentina expressed their delight at securing Valentini’s services: “Fiorentina announces that Nicolas Valentini is, as of today, officially a Viola player and has signed a contract until 2029.”
The club also provided some background on their new acquisition: “Valentini, born on April 6, 2001, has worn the Boca Juniors shirt in recent seasons. The new Gigliati player also boasts 8 appearances with the Argentina Under-23 national team.”
Valentini’s arrival at Fiorentina marks the culmination of a long-standing interest from the club. The defender, who had been sidelined at Boca Juniors since April due to a contract renewal dispute, is now set to begin a new chapter in his career in Serie A.
The young defender’s versatility and potential make him an exciting prospect for Fiorentina. Known for his left-footed play and strong defensive skills, Valentini is expected to provide depth and competition in the Viola’s backline.
