FLORENCE – It has already been there, but it would be as if it hadn’t been there: if Zaniolo If he were to return to Florence he would find everything different or almost different from when he was a boy and went through the youth ranks of the Viola. Starting from the “physiognomy” of the club, because then the Della Valle family was in command and Pantaleo Corvino had just returned to lead the football structure, while today there is the family Commisso with Daniele Pradé (whom Nicolò knows well) together with Burdisso to carry forward the strategies, fresh from “expanded” tasks due to the recent passing of Joe Barone. There is the Viola Park, which would have been the “Purple Citadel” in the Della Valle’s plans and never built, and even the “Franchi” stadium will be something else after the total reconstruction from June onwards and for the next two years .
Zaniolo, Fiorentina attraction
In short, not even the memory of that experience lived on the swing of sensations and behaviors and then ending with a contested divorce, would have any impact on what Zaniolo could do: indeed, to return to where he has already been, but in a completely new reality, it could be a significant stimulus to the point of playing an equally important role in the decision of the footballer with his family and his entourage. Which obviously are and will be involved before taking any steps, but Florence and Fiorentina attract him a lot after having already planned his relaunch by returning to Italy: and in Florence and Fiorentina he would find fertile ground. Barone, with Gonzalez “under attack” by Brentford last summer, believed that Zaniolo was the perfect replacement for the Argentine and even if Nico remained, the Viola general director had recently reconnected with Claudio Vigorelli, the player’s agent of Aston Villa.
Zaniolo at Fiorentina, restart for two
Who will not remain in Birmingham at the end of the season, but Istanbul and Galatasaray (owner of the card) will not be the point of arrival at the end of the 3.5 million onerous loan either: Nicolò has Italy at the top of his mind and Fiorentina could quickly scale those thoughts, also finding space for the possibility it would give him to show how much he is worth to the environment and to the fans who have not had the time to know him well. Seen and admired yes in the youth teams up to the Allievi, because the qualities are qualities even as a boy, but then also seen leave (Entella the first springboard) to establish himself far away. Eight years later we could return to square one. Starting again.
