The start of the season is the perfect opportunity to assess the strategic choices made in the transfer market. In this regard, we find that the work done by sporting director Pradè is convincing. The decisions he has made regarding recruitment have, so far, borne fruit.
The transfer market: A wise choice
Undoubtedly, this first market under Pradè’s guidance is the most successful since Commisso’s arrival. The acquisition of Kean, achieved in record time, marks a significant advancement. Despite a previous season record showing no goals scored, Kean is now establishing himself as a key member of the squad.
Meanwhile, the situation with De Gea deserves special attention. The club must absolutely convince the former Manchester United star to extend his contract, possibly for two additional seasons. However, it is essential to emphasize that his desire to stay must take precedence, even if an option for extension is available.
A future to build: Upcoming objectives
In light of future signings, it is imperative to approach the winter transfer window with a clear strategy. For example, we believe it would be wise to send Parisi on loan so that he can regain his playing rhythm and economic potential. Additionally, considering the sale of Ikonè or Sottil could be beneficial, as these players have not fully established themselves.
The case of Beltran is also posed. A loan to a European club would be more suitable to allow the forward to demonstrate his abilities without sending him back to River Plate, which would be counterproductive.
Towards a new reinforcement: Reassessing the attack
Fiorentina must consider the purchase of a vice Kean, as the Lucca option now seems too ambitious. In this quest, contemplating Arnautovic, who is at odds with Inter, could prove to be an interesting option. However, it is essential that Arnautovic accepts his role as a substitute.
A promising performance
Finally, we note the situation of Gudmundsson, who, after overcoming significant difficulties, can now contribute more calmly and effectively to the team. His return will be beneficial both for the player and for the club that has invested in him.
In conclusion, the start of the season reflects encouraging choices for Fiorentina, both in terms of recruitment and player performances. Adjustments are necessary, but the foundations are strong for contemplating a positive future.
