TMW
Fiorentina is on the hunt for a buyer for M’Bala Nzola. While the management is struggling with the incoming market, given that Raffaele Palladino needs new faces, especially in midfield, in view of the official start of the season, the striker, now out of the project, is looking for a solution to try to find continuity after a very difficult season that has seen him very often criticized for his inconsistent performance. According to what was collected by the editorial staff of TMW the most plausible hypothesis for the Angolan would be Lens, in Ligue 1, who have him in their sights and could try to close the deal on the basis of a loan with an option to buy, a formula that is also of interest to Fiorentina.
Proposed to Genoa.
There would also be another hypothesis, but much less likely, at least for the moment. In the many discussions that Fiorentina is having in recent days on the Albert Gudmundsson front, very close to wearing the purple jersey, the lily sporting director, Daniele Pradè, would have proposed Nzola to the Grifone, not clearly including him in the operation for the Icelander but putting him on the negotiating table knowing of Atalanta’s interest in Mateo Retegui.
Gilardino is not convinced.
In all this, there has already been a no from Alberto Gilardino, Genoa coach, who doesn’t like the idea. For the possible replacement of the oriundo, who arrived a year ago from Tigre, the rossoblù coach would like another profile, with the name of Arkadiusz Milik who remains the first on his list. Lens in pole position for Nzola therefore, and the next few hours could lead to a white smoke, given that Fiorentina is pushing for his exit.
