Argentinian change to purple: the vice captain returns home, the Xeneize central defender is released on the 31st and is ready to sign. Coulibaly from Parma is liked, he can come in exchange for Kayode
Argentine arrives, Argentine leaves. For Fiorentina’s defence, Nicolas Valentini is ready to land in the city in these hours, but the departure of Martinez Quarta, captain after Biraghi, also seems imminent. A change in defense which will partially modify the characteristics of the protagonists of the back line and which will give different solutions to Raffaele Palladino. Valentini’s arrival was more than announced since last summer, while for Quarta the acceleration has arrived especially in the last few hours with the player heading towards River Plate who is ready to buy the player permanently with an agreement until 2028, the same one that “Chino” currently has with the purples.
soon on the field

Valentini, born in 2001, arrives as a free agent from Boca Juniors and will be able to officially become a Fiorentina member after the contract with the Argentines expires which ends on 31 December. It is a purchase that the Viola, with an early move by the management, secured last summer, but the defender, with a double passport, has been held in Buenos Aires until now because Boca asked the club to release him early. Fiorentina an economically high bonus. Valentini will now need a period to adapt to the Italian championship, but those who know him well in South America describe him as a man capable of getting used to quickly, considering his qualities: he is skilled in the air, he is fast and has character. He has always been used in a back four, just like Fiorentina are doing now. However, he has not played an official match since April 10th because, without accepting the renewal, he remained on the fringes of Boca and for this reason too he will need time. He can start to carve out some space for himself as a natural replacement for Luca Ranieri and then over time it will be his turn to climb the hierarchies, after having understood Palladino’s requests, having known Serie A and having done specific work to find the rhythm match.

In the meantime, Martinez Quarta is ready to say goodbye. Having arrived in Florence in 2020 from River, he is now destined to take the opposite path, despite the fresh renewal until 2028 and the rank of vice captain (behind Biraghi who is also outgoing). The Argentine club is ready to spend 7/8 million for him, perhaps including a percentage on the future resale in favor of the Viola. In recent hours the talks have further intensified to close the operation quickly. With Vincenzo Italiano, “Chino” was the defender-bomber who established himself as one of the team’s protagonists, but this season he encountered greater difficulties. The explosion of the Comuzzo-Ranieri duo then reduced his use in Serie A (348′) even though he was always used in the Conference League. To carve out space for him, Palladino also used him in midfield, but now the goodbyes seem really close.
always on defense

Fiorentina also has another Argentine in their defensive department, Matias Moreno, born in 2003, who arrived from Belgrano last summer and is almost yet to be discovered. As well as Marin Pongracic, paid 15 million, who has not yet taken off in his adventure in Viola also because he is limited by injuries. Cristiano Biraghi, now excluded by Palladino, will then start in the back line if he finds a solution. As a right back, pay attention to Coulibaly from Parma, who is popular, in an operation linked to Michael Kayode or independent.
