Amrabat on the starting foot: he must be replaced. Baschirotto likes it behind, Nzola resists in front
There is a lot of meat on the fire on Fiorentina’s market dish. We could even witness a mini lily revolution. But it will depend on two factors. The first: the offers he will receive for his players because the club, like everyone else, wants to sell but not undersell. The second, even more important: whether or not he will play in the Conference League next season. For this Commisso and his associates are preparing the ground without sinking the blows, because they are waiting to find out whether or not Juventus will be disqualified by UEFA. It’s one thing to form the squad for the championship, another to play in Europe too.
The base
—
Meanwhile, Viola has laid the foundations for next year by confirming Vincenzo Italiano. The project continues and the company has no intention of playing low. The two lost finals were a great disappointment but at the same time gave the impetus to continue on the same path and try the climb again. The feeling is that the coach will weigh more on the market decisions. The Italian is looking for the right men, especially in defense, to raise the level of his game and not fall into the usual imbalance errors, which cost really dearly, especially in the Conference final.
Mass release?
—
Thus, the exit of many players could be envisaged: some because they disappointed, others because at the end of the race and others to raise cash. Meanwhile, they have already said goodbye to Saponara and Venuti, whose contracts have not been renewed. Amrabat is on the starting foot, also confirmed by Morocco coach Regragui: “Sofyan has played 60 games this season, I decided to let him go. He won’t play, therefore, we won’t take any risks, above all because he will soon sign with a new club”. Which one is not known: on the trail of him Barcelona, Atletico and United. Viola has lowered the demands a bit but wants at least 30 million. They will greet Igor (too many uncertainties) and Quarta, also “unloaded” from Italiano. The two proved unfit to play with high defense. One between Cabral and Jovic will go for sure, it will depend on the offer. And then Terzic, Duncan and Sottil are also transferable. Perhaps the viola would also like to give away Ikonè, very disappointing, but he has no offers.
Goals
—
There are many names in Pradè and Barone’s notebook. The level of purchases, as mentioned, will also depend on whether or not you are in Europe. But for sure at least one big name in every department will come. In defense the “big shot” has not yet been identified, meanwhile Baschirotto (estimated at 8-10 million by Lecce, is within reach) and Ampadu follow. In midfield in pole position there is always Maxime Lopez, the playmaker who has been looking for an Italian since he was an orphan of Torreira. But Tameze del Verona, Dominguez and Schouten are also on the list. A counterpart would already be ready for the last two, that Terzic who really likes Bologna. The surprise could be Boloca del Frosinone. However, two will come in that role. As it is probable that there will be an “encore” also in attack, given the departures. The dream is always Berardi, the Viola coach’s old passion. Then there is the clear goal of the centre-forward: Nzola or Retegui always in the running, the outsider is the 27-year-old Dodi Lukebakio, number 9 who scored 11 goals in 32 games for Hertha Berlin. Ngonge likes him as an outside striker, while the Zaniolo card is faded.
Upgrade in door?
—
Despite Terracciano’s more than decent season, Viola would very much like to get Vicario, who was one of the best in Serie A. An alternative to “Terra” will still come, in case Audero. In general, after the UEFA ruling it will be known whether it will be a revolution.
