Beans from Juve to Fiorentina, the background of the last minute blow

The last 24 hours of the winter market were an intertwining of emotions for Nicolò Fagioli, who left Juventus after 11 years to move to Fiorentina. The final turning point came only at 10.30 pm, when the fourth and final relaunch came from Florence to convince the men of the Continassa. From that moment it was a race against time, considering that the procedure for the transfer – after the footballer’s signatures in the offices of the Juventus club – was completed 10 minutes after the closure of the session.

Marseille

Nicolò’s last trip to Turin began at lunchtime. As usual, the footballer had returned home – in Piacenza – after the game against Empoli, waiting for developments on his future. The entourage had a rough agreement with Fiorentina for a couple of days, but the strongest signals to reach the transfer had arrived from Marseille: De Zerbi has been estimating it for years and had called him in unsuspected times, at the end of November, explaining the tactical project and the performance of training. The French club offered a little less in the engagement proposal, but during the morning he believed he had the footballer in his hand: so much to take the first official steps with Juventus.

Max’s call

On the road to Turin the most beautiful memories of life in black and white have resurfaced and the first doubts have matured about the concrete possibility of moving abroad, away from home. So as not to answer the calls from Marseille and compromise the operation in its decisive moment. Retroscena: Marseille’s management reached beans with the friendly intervention of his former coach, Max Allegri, to whom the boy had asked for advice on the best choice to make in this moment of his career. The former Juve coach yesterday simply directed Nicolò to clarity: at that point, Fagioli called De Zerbi, thanked him for the trust shown from the beginning of the market and told him with transparency that he had doubts about the transfer abroad.

Fagioli spent the evening at the Continassa, waiting for the turning point that came only in the evening: between 20 and 9 pm. Fiorentina, aware of being left alone in the race to the footballer, began to relaunch until he reached total agreement with Juventus. In reality, without great enthusiasm by Giuntoli and his staff, due to an interesting operation on the financial level but far from its maximum potential. Juve agreed to free beans out of respect for her will, because on the margins of Thiago Motta’s choices and no longer mentally connected to the seasonal project. Nicolò would never have thought of leaving so until recently: he was seen in the Juventus shirt for many years, comforted by the club’s trust, but he wanted to play more to take up a place in the blue national team.

Palladino’s call

–

The latest decisive interventions were those of Pradè and Palladino. The first reassured the footballer on the success of the transfer even before completing the auction, the second explained to him why the Viola project could have been the right in this moment of his career. Among other things, the right ropes for an experience lived personally: Palladino grew up in the Juventus youth sector and, after a few seasons in the first team as a young aggregate in the first team (with ample parenthesis as a protagonist just as beans), he continued Elsewhere his career. The Viola coach had been decisive last summer also with Kean, who is now among the best attackers for the performance of Serie A. With beans he did the same thing: in purple, he will return to wear the number 44 shirt.
