Fiorentina once again targets Cancellieri on the wings: contract until
According to Tuttomercatoweb.
Why this matters
Fiorentina are strengthening their attack, and the inclusion of Matteo Cancellieri in their options could be crucial for the team in the next Serie A season. With Lazio willing to negotiate, the transfer could help Fiorentina increase competitiveness on the flanks, an area that coach Fabio Grosso considers a priority. Cancellieri's ability to operate on both flanks could bring a new dynamic to the Viola attack.
Principais conclusões
- Fiorentina turns to ask Cancellieri to leave: contract até.
- Fiorentina wants to strengthen their wings and team Matteo Cancellieri (Lazio) as their priority.
- Fiorentina, Cancellieri is back in the news for the band: it's expiring and Lazio opens.
Fiorentina has put Matteo Cancellieri back on the agenda to reinforce the attacking wings in this summer market. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Viola club considers the arrival of wingers an immediate priority and sees Lazio's Italian under-21 international as a suitable profile to expand solutions on the flanks. Despite having a contract until June 2027, Lazio is open to listening to proposals for the player, a scenario that could facilitate talks in the coming weeks.
In parallel, the defensive structure of Fabio Grosso's team is close to being defined. After closed entries for the defense axis — with Dragusin and the Brazilian Viery appointed as reinforcements for the center — and with Joao Mario ready to land in Florence from Juventus, the focus shifted to the final third. In the first preparation matches, the coach even had to improvise in the corridors of the offensive trident, adapting players such as Alex Jiménez on the right and resorting to occasional solutions on the opposite flank, in an admittedly temporary solution until specific reinforcements arrive.
Interest in Cancellieri also gains strength due to the context at Lazio. The early return of Gustav Isaksen, after surgical intervention for pubalgia, should reduce space in the wing options in Rome, making Cancellieri's departure more plausible if a convincing proposal emerges. The attacker, capable of playing on both flanks, fits what Fabio Grosso wants: width, imbalance in one-to-one and depth to give another dimension to the viola attack.
Fiorentina also has Luca Koleosho on its radar, but the Italian-Nigerian youth international's dossier appears, for now, in the background compared to Cancellieri's. On the exit side, the future of Dodô remains to be clarified. The Brazilian right-back is well positioned to leave Florence, awaiting a solution that pleases both the player and the club. On the left side, the arrival of Valdepeñas, from Real Madrid, is expected to add competition and alternatives to the squad.
At the center of the attack, any movement will inevitably depend on the fate of Moise Kean. The viola administration will prefer to first understand the final situation of the Italian forward before moving on to another operation in this sector. Until then, all attention is focused on hiring wingers who bring immediacy and impact to the offensive game.
With Serie A approaching and a pre-season calendar that has served to fine-tune processes, Fiorentina is accelerating to hand over the missing pieces to Fabio Grosso. Cancellieri appears as the hottest track to respond to a need identified since the start of work: gaining speed, width and goals on the wings. Lazio's willingness to negotiate could be the key to unlocking one of the central movements of the viola market.
What happens next
After the agreement is formalized, which should take place in the coming days, Modric will join the rest of Milan's squad on the pre-season tour of Australia. This period will be essential for the player to integrate into Amorim's new model and for the club to fine-tune its strategies before the start of the Serie A season. The expectation is that the officialization of the contract will further strengthen the team's confidence for the challenges that lie ahead.
