Apart from trying to acquire Galatasaray's highly sought-after star player Nicolo Zaniolo, Fiorentina is also considering making a summer raid for Moise Kean, who was cut by Juventus. Alfredo Pedulla claims that Raffaele Palladino, the new manager, has designated the former Everton misfit as his top priority in an attempt to strengthen his struggling front line.

The manager of Juventus, Thiago Motta, has decided to bench Kean. The 24-year-old's contract expires in 2025, therefore the record-holding Serie A winners are eager to get rid of him shortly. The Italian is still a desired asset despite his lackluster second term in Turin.

Palladino intended to sign him when he was in command of Monza last January, and Fiorentina might provide him with a lifeline back home. Even though he was unable to entice him to Stadio Brianteo over the winter, the situation has changed. Kean is currently for sale, and Fiorentina is eager to pay a low price to get him to Tuscany.

The cost of Kean's 2021 comeback to Juventus was estimated to be around €35 million. Fiorentina can, however, agree to his sale to the Bianconeri for cents on the dollar due to his appalling form, ongoing injury issues, and an expiring contract. Zaniolo is likewise adamant about returning to Italy.

Teun Koopmeiners set for move to Juventus despite not featuring in UEFA Euro 2024

As one of Juventus' main objectives for the current transfer window, Koopmeiners has been strongly linked to a move to the club. He had to withdraw fromtthe friendly between the Netherlands and Iceland due to a muscular problem.

Koopmeiners' muscular problem will prevent him from playing for the Netherlands in the UEFA Euro 2024, as the Royal Dutch FA revealed a couple of weeks back.  Although the 26-year-old will be devastated by the news, it doesn't appear that it will hinder his prospects of joining Juventus during the summer, should an agreement with Atalanta is reached.
