Fiorentina finds itself in an emergency situation for the winter transfer window. Despite spending €120 million in the summer, Stefano Paratici's team have failed to consolidate their squad and now risk facing another season of uncertainty, with the possibility of relegation if action is not taken immediately.
The most pressing problem is the lack of an attacking midfielder capable of guaranteeing goals and providing a tactical identity. The two players who should replace Kean, both Pellegrini and Beto, do not seem to have the required quality. The coach underlines that the centre-forwards are fundamental to the team's success, but Fiorentina have not yet found a suitable replacement. For this reason, Paratici has expressed interest in Dutch midfielder Zirkzee, who was almost signed by the Viola a few months ago. Zirkzee, who has also been courted by Juventus, is currently at Manchester United and has played a marginal role in his team, with just one goal in over 160 minutes of play. If Fiorentina manages to reopen negotiations, Zirkzee could become an offensive point of reference.
Other reinforcements are also expected in the defense and midfield. Paratici has identified Thiago Gabriel, Lecce's central defender, as a possible candidate for the central area. In midfield, however, the team needs a player with personality capable of leading the game. Fagioli and Oulai have failed to establish themselves as playmakers, and the team may be looking for a new leader. A possible candidate is Torreira, who showed great talent at Galatasaray and could be an added value for the squad.
Fiorentina must therefore intervene decisively in the winter transfer window to avoid remaining in a vulnerable position. If the necessary reinforcements are not made, the team risks continuing to concede goals in defense and not having an attacking midfielder capable of producing goals. The next step will therefore be to start negotiations with the players mentioned and try to complete the operations before the transfer window closes.
