Fiorentina market: new adventure in the UAE for a former Serie A player

Fibrentina soccer market: new adventure in the UAE for a former well-known face of Serie A. It is Cristian Tello, who wore the purple jersey for one and a half seasons and who has just signed a new contract and will wear the ninth different jersey of his career.

Tello will in fact play for Plam City, a team registered in the second division of the Emirati league. This is not his first adventure in the Middle East, as he has always played in Saudi Arabia since January 2023. In fact, after a season and a half on the roster at Al-Fateh, he played his last championship in the ranks of Al-Orobah.

.

He arrived at Fiorentina in January 2016, on loan from Barcelona. An immediate starter in Paulo Sousa’s rotation, Tello’s loan had been renewed the following season. A total of 41 appearances and four goals were not enough to convince the Viola to redeem him, resulting in his return to Barcelona on May 31, 2017 and subsequent move to Sevilla to wear the Betis jersey.

The youngster’s name is Tello.

Product of the Barcelona youth team, in whose first team he had played for three seasons, Tello had also played for Porto before arriving at Fiorentina. After five seasons in Betis he had moved to the United States, but his adventure with Los Angeles FC had lasted only six months with five appearances in MLS before moving to Saudi Arabia.

The Tello’s move to the United States was a good one.
