First the Conference League final, then the future. In home Florentine, the concentration on the appointment of next May 29th is at its maximum. At the same time, the Viola management is also called to study the moves to make for next season’s team. One of the question marks concerns the confirmation of Giacomo Bonaventurain Florence since 2020 and current vice-captain of the team coached by Italiano.
No automatic renewal. It is now clear that, this season, Bonaventura does not reach 70 percent of the matches played with at least 45 minutes played on the pitch. Jack he has indeed played a lot – 40 games – with 7 goals and 4 assists, but on several occasions under the minimum playing time required by the clause included in the agreement with Rocco Commisso’s club: in the league, for example, he started on 25 occasions out of the 36 available so far. Consequently, the automatic renewal provided for in his contract, expiring on 30 June 2024, will not be triggered with this threshold as a reference.
However, Fiorentina’s desire is to reach the renewal anyway, also given the strong relationship between the former Milan, the management and the Viola environment in general. Thus, the appointment is set for after the Conference League final against Olympiacos: it will be necessary to negotiate, this is inevitable, but the starting point is the intention of reaching an extension.
