Fiorentina faces a significant staffing challenge at striker as their current frontline situation deteriorates rapidly. Star player Moise Kean has signaled his desire to depart for Como, arriving late to training on Wednesday and refusing to participate in the session. The Italian forward’s commitment to leaving has intensified following Como’s improved offer, which reportedly totals €40 million including performance incentives, though Fiorentina continues to demand €45 million for his sale.
The situation grows more complicated as Fiorentina pursues potential replacements. The club had identified Inter’s Ange-Yoan Bonny as an ideal candidate to fill the void, but Inter has made clear they will not entertain offers for the French striker. Despite Bonny’s position further down the pecking order behind Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, and Pio Esposito, Inter views him as integral to their project and unlikely to leave during this transfer window.
To resolve their pressing needs, Fiorentina must explore alternative options. Several forwards have emerged as potential targets, including Everton’s Beto, unattached striker Mauro Icardi, Chelsea prospect Emanuel Emegha, and RB Leipzig’s Conrad Harder. The club has already bolstered their attacking options with the arrival of Mateo Pellegrino this summer, but securing an additional quality striker appears increasingly urgent given Kean’s apparent exit and Inter’s unwillingness to negotiate.
