Monza, like Cagliari, intends to keep the young defender and was born in Prato in 2006, has decided not to interrupt the loan of Eddy Kouadio before the end of the season. Fiorentina, owners of the player, renewed his contract until 2030 and loaned him to the Brianza club in July, where he has already recorded eight appearances and one goal. Monza coach Juric considers Kouadio a fundamental player in the fight against relegation and has expressed his desire to leave him in the squad until the end of the championship.
Kouadio, of Ivorian origins, has been scouted by several English teams, including Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton, Hull City and especially Everton. Despite international interest, his stay at Monza has been confirmed, with Fiorentina only being able to decide his future at the end of the season. The Viola club has demonstrated its trust in the young defender, granting him space on the pitch and a contract renewal that ties him to Fiorentina for another four years.
Monza adopted a similar strategy to that of Cagliari the previous season, when they kept Marco Palestra on loan until the end of the championship. In this case, the management of Kouadio's loan follows the same logic: Fiorentina will be able to evaluate any offers only after the end of the season, while Monza will continue to benefit from his performances without worries of an early transfer.
The player has already played an important role in the team, with eight appearances and one goal, and his presence is seen as a key element in achieving the goal of salvation. Fiorentina, while maintaining ownership of Kouadio, decided not to intervene before the end of the season, leaving Monza the possibility of making the most of his talent in the final phase of Serie A.
