Nicolo Fagioli is linked with a move from Fiorentina at the end of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the player. According to Florence Viola, manager Roberto De Zerbi wants the London club to sign the 25-year-old central midfielder. The player recently changed agents, adding to the speculation surrounding his future.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can make a deal. He will add control and composure in the middle of the park. He has the technical qualities to succeed at Tottenham and could be a great signing.
De Zerbi rates the player highly and may be able to bring out the best in Fagioli. At 25 years old, he is at the peak of his career and is the perfect time to join a bigger club. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the Italian club to sell the player.
The fact that the player has changed agents suggests that he is considering the possibility of a transfer. Tottenham have the financial wherewithal to get a deal done, but it remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Tottenham have had a disappointing season but have an exciting project planned. They have some quality players and a top-level manager like De Zerbi. There’s no reason they can’t bounce back strong next season. Italian players are likely to be attracted by the possibility of joining them. They could give him a platform to fight for trophies next season.
If Fiorentina is forced to let Fagioli go, they may aim to recoup the premium from Fagioli’s departure.
