Fiorentina Transfer Market: Kean Has Already Been Forgotten—Here’s the New Striker

Kean’s departure—he is now set to join Fabregas’s Como—was a blow to Fiorentina, which had been counting heavily on the Italian national team striker. However, as soon as they realized that keeping Kean wasn’t feasible, the club moved quickly to find a worthy replacement.

After careful consideration, Paratici, the Viola’s transfer chief, decided to go with Beto. The Portuguese-born striker, who holds Guinean citizenship, knows Serie A inside and out, given his time at Udinese (from 2021 to 2023, 22 goals in 65 total appearances).

To bring Beto onto the roster, Fiorentina has offered a substantial sum of approximately 18 million euros. This is what Everton demanded to let go of its striker, who has expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of wearing the Fiorentina jersey and returning to play in Italy.

With the arrival of former Udinese striker Beto, Paratici has resolved the forward situation and, above all, no longer has any reason not to finalize the deal with Como for Kean. At this point, everything is in the hands of coach Grosso, who is called upon to respond quickly after a decidedly rocky start to the season (two straight losses to Roma and Frosinone).
