Como Transfer Market: A Standoff Between the Viola and Moise Kean

For Fiorentina, who were routed in Rome (4-0 for the Giallorossi, led by an unstoppable Malen, who took home the match ball), the future of Moise Kean (who entered the game at the Olimpico in the 63rd minute, with his team already down by three goals) remains one of the hottest topics in the final days of the transfer window for the Gigliati.

The former Juventus player has already reached an agreement with Como regarding his transfer, but the gap between the Larian club and Fiorentina still needs to be bridged. The Viola are asking for around 40 million euros, with the total value potentially reaching 45 million through bonuses. It’s a demand on which, at least for now, the Tuscan club does not seem willing to back down.

Kean hasn’t closed the door on a possible departure and has so far left it up to the Viola management to decide his future. Now, however, Fiorentina would like the player himself to clearly express his desire to change teams. The club, in fact, has no need to sell him and had maintained the same stance even after the expiration of the 62-million buyout clause, set for July 15. The 43 goals scored by the forward over the past two seasons—including appearances with the national team—further underscore his importance.

Fiorentina will therefore only consider a sale if an offer is deemed adequate and after securing a replacement of at least equivalent value. Fabio Paratici has already made progress in his search, and among the players being evaluated, Everton’s Beto—a former Udinese player—currently appears to be one of the most likely candidates.
