The Fiorentina is facing a real emergency in midfield, with the departures of Duncan, Bonaventure e Castrovilli who have left a void that is difficult to fill. With Mandrake e Biancothe latter returned after the loan to Reggiana, as the only names available, coach Palladino was forced to look for reinforcements to replace the important players lost during the summer transfer market and is also looking at home Sassuolo. According to Sports Courier the purple club has identified Kristian Thorstvedt of Sassuolo as Fiorentina’s new main target for midfield.
The 1999-born Norwegian midfielder has been followed by the Viola club since January, when he scored a goal against the Tuscan team that was then disallowed in a very controversial manner. With six goals scored during the last season, Thorstvedt has shown himself to be a versatile and quality player, capable of adapting to Serie A as well.

The CEO of Sassuolo John Carneval would have set the price of Thorstvedt at around 10 million euros, but it is said that with an offer of 7-8 million the deal could be closed. However, the competition for the Norwegian midfielder is fierce, with clubs like Lazio, Bologna e Atalanta who have shown interest in the player. At the moment, no concrete offers have arrived in Reggio Emilia, but if an auction were to break out, Viola could also be penalised for the ambitions of the class of ’99, who could be enchanted by the Champions League music coming from Bergamo and Bologna.
