Midfield emergency, the Florentine runs to plug the holes. In the last few hours, as revealed by The Courier of Sportthe Viola management has returned strong on Tanner Tessmanna popular profile that has been following for more than a month: the price it dropped to 5-6 million, and the latest news is that the Lilies have broken the ice with a first official offer.
The 2001-born midfielder, having failed to make the move to Inter, has accepted a transfer to Florence and now the remaining obstacle is his salary: the asking price is significantly higher than the half a million he received at Venezia. In the meantime, there is plenty of competition, with Torino, Parma and Como on his trail. Otherwise, he will also be playing for it Weston McKennie: the American will be excluded from Juventus by explicit choice of Thiago Motta. The Bianconeri management is in fact open to negotiating the transfer on the basis of 13 million euros, with the contract expiring next year.
The stumbling block here too is the salary requested by the player: the 1998-born player currently earns 2.5 million, a salary that is too expensive for Fiorentina’s possibilities. The only way to make the deal work will be to negotiate with his entourage to lower the demands, but it is not excluded – the Roman newspaper reports – that Juve could agree to pay part of his salary, Arthur Melo style last year.
