Fiorentina have lost the race for Nicolò Zaniolo, but their priorities at the moment seem to be quite different. Yes, building a good offensive department will be the basis for giving Palladino a team that can still be competitive on three fronts, but there is an area of the pitch that today cries out for help to the Tuscan management and that is the midfield. The revolution of June 30 left in the squad only Mandragora of the midfielders (if desired, the various Barak or Infantino could be adapted) from last season, to which are added the young Bianco and Amatucci returning from loan.
The focus of the purple market is first and foremost on a more defensive profilebefore going to get some midfielders who are also capable of projecting themselves forward. And in the last few hours a trail that leads to the Capital and to a player who has lost a lot of space in the rankings and hierarchies since the change of coach from Mourinho to De Rossi seems to have regained strength, thatEdward Bove who was untouchable with the Special One, a little less so when he left.
Now Pradè has his eye on uswho has been an admirer of his for years and who boasts privileged relations with Rome and Roma. Even yesterday – he reports Sky Sports – Fiorentina has made contacts to reach Bove, mainly with his entourage. The request made by the Giallorossi is yet to be understood.
