This afternoon the journalist from The Republic Alessandro Bocciduring a connection with Pentasporthad the opportunity to analyze the future of Florentine, especially regarding the search for a center forward for next season. This is an excerpt:
“In my opinion, Scamacca is stronger but sometimes he falls asleep, but Retegui is a player of substance who always fights until the last minute: he’s not a champion anyway. He is the last center forward to score for the Italian national team, against Venezuela in the March tour. Spalletti thinks well of him, he saw him well against Spain, and he chose to use him again tonight against Croatia.”
“Ideal goal for Fiorentina, but not at these figures”
He then commented on the rumors of his transfer to Fiorentina: “As I already said, I don’t mind, he’s not a phenomenon but he’s a player who can still grow a lot. This year he scored few goals, but his season was certainly influenced by injuries and the fact that it was his first year in Italy. I believe he is a player who can be in line with the desires of a team like Fiorentinathe problem is that the price that Genoa is charging at the moment seems excessive to me: 30 million for Retegui, who has scored 7 goals this year, is a lot. In my opinion, if you want to bet on him you need to find a way to spend less. Then strikers cost money, and if we want a strong one we have to spend.”
“Unless on loan, I would avoid taking Zaniolo”
He then commented on the possible arrival of Zaniolo: “If I were in Fiorentina I wouldn’t take him, for goodness sake I would avoid it. He seems to me to be too inconsistent a player, a player I’ve never seen have a full season. If it’s about making a loan investment that’s one thing, if you have to spend money on it I’d focus on something else. Then maybe I’m wrong, but for the moment I don’t trust him.”
“Castrovilli’s situation is very strange”
He then concluded by talking about the situation related to Gaetano Castrovilli: “How much can a player who has had two serious injuries like him ask for? It is clear that if the player asks for a disproportionate salary for the Viola coffers it is a matter of discussion, it is normal that he could be let go. But if he asks for an honest figure, why not confirm it, all the assessments that Fiorentina will certainly have made should be made. If I were Fiorentina I would take it Samardzic”
