Fiorentina, Paratici’s moves to restart

Collaborator

December 30, 2025 (changed at 09:06) – FIRENZE

The Fiorentina market is starting to take shape and the idea for now is to change 4-5 players, with the same number of entries and exits, and operations that will mainly consist of loans. The department that seems destined to change its face again is the midfield with names in the crosshairs such as Samardzic and Brescianini of Atalanta and two ready to say goodbye: one will certainly be Richardson and the other could be Nicolussi Caviglia.

Lazar Samardzic, born in 2002, is back in Fiorentina’s sights after the Viola club had looked for him when he was still at Udinese. It would be necessary to find a right formula with the Dea (such as a loan with a conditional obligation) who had taken him for around 20 million from the Friulians a year and a half ago, a period in which he made 61 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is finding less space, and if anything more as a substitute, because Atalanta plays without the classic attacking midfielder and midfielder, roles that the Serbian covers. For him, as for everyone else, the situation will be clearer when Fabio Paratici enters the organization to all intents and purposes and will take charge of the situation in early January as head of the sporting area, after having terminated the contract with Tottenham. Also on the table between Fiorentina and Atalanta is Marco Brescianini, 26 years old in a few days, a midfielder who had already been followed in the summer of 2024. He can be used both as a midfielder and as a midfielder and would be another new face for the Viola who must make several moves in the squad to try to save themselves. Also not to be forgotten is Eric Martel from Cologne, born in 2002, whose contract expires in June 2026.

In the meantime, Cagliari is pressing on Nicolussi Caviglia who arrived in Florence last summer from Venezia for a loan of €1 million plus €7 in redemption with an obligation conditional on 50% of appearances (for at least 45 minutes) out of the total of Fiorentina’s seasonal matches. Reaching the percentage is a long way off and the real negotiation will be between the Sardinian club and the lagoon players. Also in this case patience is needed because the arrival of Paratici will be decisive to dissolve the bond that now binds the midfielder to the purple colours. Richardson is certainly out and among other things has already said he wants to leave Florence, even indicating his preference for Nice as a destination. However, there are also Italian companies interested in him. He hasn’t even been called up by Vanoli for Parma and seems close to saying goodbye.

Another department in which to act is the defense, which has already conceded 28 goals and has demonstrated fragility both with three and with the recent line with four. We need grafts and certainties. One name is that of Diego Coppola who knows Serie A having played for Verona before moving to Brighton where he found very little space from the start of the season until mid-December (just 17 minutes in total in the Premier League) and was then relaunched as a starter in the last two matches against Sunderland and Arsenal. He has just turned 23 and would not rule out a return to Italy. Also pay attention to the “usual” Rodrigo Becao now Fenerbahçe. His name had already come out in recent weeks and in these hours Fiorentina’s interest in him has also been relaunched from Turkey.

The priority is then an offensive winger with characteristics completely absent in the current squad and to try to include. Jeremie Boga (twenty-nine on January 3), leaving Nice, is an idea and in Florence he could relaunch himself to return to the levels of 2019-2020 when he scored eleven goals in Serie A, with the Sassuolo shirt.
