Fiorentina strengthens itself in the market with new acquisitions

Fiorentina are demonstrating renewed strength in the transfer market, with Fabio Paratici leading a series of strategic acquisitions. In the most recent episode of the program "Caffè Di Marzio", the incessant work of Paratici was highlighted, who is shopping even on Sundays. The team has already reinforced itself with two central defenders and is now looking for new additions such as Oulai and Thorstvedt.

According to Di Marzio, "Fiorentina is coming back, and one of the main reasons for that is the work of Fabio Paratici, who has shown himself to be a true expert in the market." Paratici has already secured the signing of Dragusin, a player he knows well, and is also working on acquiring Viery, a Brazilian defender who Fiorentina has been watching since March through its scouting group.

Fiorentina's defense was one of the most criticized areas last season, with the team conceding many goals. Paratici is trying to fill these gaps with adequate reinforcements, and the first steps have already been taken with the arrival of two defenders.

Di Marzio adds that "Fiorentina are not satisfied and intend to continue their development. The management is considering how many players they can let leave and how many they can bring in to satisfy the coach, who is interested in Thorstvedt." The sporting director seems determined to transform the team, always looking for the best options on the market.

Fiorentina is paying attention to the market and, despite the financial difficulties that Italian football is facing, Paratici is investigating how he can move forward with signing Oulai. The player has a price that, if it increases to 40-45 million, could become an unviable operation not only for Fiorentina, but for most Italian clubs.

Paratici, known for having acquired Pogba at zero cost for Juventus and later sold for 100 million, is applying this same strategy at Fiorentina. He seeks to keep costs under control while strengthening the team. The Fiorentina that is being built is a team that already demonstrates greater strength in the market, positioning itself for a more competitive future.
