Last summer’s agreement to redeem Torreira from Arsenal for fifteen million deferred over several years has become waste paper, but the negotiation continues. And it is not a paradox. The player is no longer from Fiorentina, but he could return to being one from July 1st because once the bureaucratic aspects have been overcome, the parties actually talk to each other, the proposals travel on the telephone line and beyond. It is difficult, but the hope remains. It tries to file with a slight more optimism than in recent days despite the inclusion of Valencia coached by Rino Gattuso who would have asked Arsenal for information.
The new facts that still give hope are the new and decisive stance of the player who reiterated his desire to continue his history with Fiorentina, he is happy for the past season, for the goals achieved, for the relationship with the fans, but also for the locker room in which he wants to go back to being one of the leaders.
Even with these words, some voices that whispered of possible misunderstandings seem so watered down. All passed, you can start again if you find it a new agreement with Arsenal, but above all with the agent Bentancur for the commissions and with the player for the salary to be reduced compared to Arsenal.
It is all about knowing full well that it will not be easy to please everyone, but Torreira’s will could play a decisive role. And after all, even Fiorentina who are right to seek an agreement by spending less, negotiations are made to negotiate, but they know that Italian wants to start from his director and go and look for another player with the same characteristics on the market would not be easy, above all. to fifteen million.
All assessments that have been made and redone and will soon lead to a synthesis, there are those who say not before the player’s return to Italy after the matches with his national team. But the Torreira theme will also be central in the comparison scheduled for the eighth of June, as we already anticipated a few days ago, between the viola management and the Italian coach with his new agent Fali Ramadani.
The expected contact between Ramadani and Barone, however, has already been there, we do not know if simply by telephone or by videoconference from New York, but in any case it will be next Wednesday the opportunity face to face to talk about the manager’s future and possibly come out with a dealbut also to talk about the technical aspects of Fiorentina who will play the Conference next year as well as having to start again with the goal of Europe in the league and therefore will need an enhanced staff. And not a little.
Ramadani will ask for an extension of the contract for Italian at least until 2024, but the aim is to 2025. A three-year period that would allow us to work with serenity and great enthusiasm to build a cycle on the foundations put this year thanks to the great work of the technician.
Italiano will not leave for Moena with his contract expiring next year and I believe this has already been said by Ramadani in a loud and clear way to the club. Football is a right and correct position because an expiring coach is fragile in many respects and instead there is a need for great strength. It is also normal that the contract should be revised after the one signed in a hurry in the delicate matter born with Spezia last summer. Contract to be re-evaluated for Italian, but also for all his staff who are an integral part of the great work that has been done.
I repeat: all this has already been said to the company and on Tuesday the discussion will not start from scratch. But with Italian we will also talk about players and the market in more depth compared to the first hot screening, just finished the championship.
Fiorentina knows very well that six or seven important players are needed and we have already written the rolesthe. We will look for goalkeeper, right-back, deputy Biraghi, inside midfield to replace Castrovilli, an attacking winger in place of Callejon, a center forward alternative to Cabral (even if Piatek remains in the dance, but must be redeemed) and the director if not should close with Torreira. Then, of course, Italian will also make the names of the players to put on the market of the current squad and those too will have to be replaced.
As you can see, there is an important market to do, in different directions and with many situations to be evaluated, with a budget that is around fifty million (interpreting Rocco’s words), but which above all requires ideas and creativity. Maybe even working on loans with higher-level companies as happened with Real the year scorso.
A shortlist of names on which the viola marketers have worked in recent months and priorities will be decided will be presented at the table on June 8th. On the names with the “blue stamp”, those appreciated by the coach, it will then begin to tighten to closeking. Which has not happened yet. We work hard, as mentioned, but now to have a framework and different solutions for the roles discovered.
There are many names, of course, but no final negotiation has yet been reached. The ideas are clear, names like Belotti and Gollini, for example, I understand are not really in the welcome list.
For the goalkeeper the speech-Vicar will be started with Empoli and probably also Zurkowski will be discussed.and the president Corsi would like to keep and Fiorentina could give up after having counter-redeemed him. Empoli has many interesting players, but they don’t come cheap. We’ll see what happens when Empoli announces the new coach (Zanetti?) who will take the place of Andreazzoli who just yesterday ended his relationship with the Azzurri.
On the other hand, the negotiation with Shakhtar for the Brazilian right-back Dodò seems to be well advanced. The player that I have been following for several years, at first intrigued because I thought he was that of Roma and instead I immediately discovered to be a very interesting element.
In the meantime it has grown and now at the age of 24 Transfermarkt values it twenty million. The Shakhtar more. Fiorentina seems to be working on an Odriozola-style formula and Shakhtar would agree because unfortunately no one can know what will become of the Ukrainian championship and in the meantime the company could still see its player valued in a medium-high level team. great tradition like Fiorentina, with the security of an owner’s position. Dodò is strong-strong, if it should arrive we prepare a toast. But, I repeat, Fiorentina are working on different names and tables, let’s wait until June 8 and we’ll know more.
