3 free agent midfielders Fiorentina could sign (but probably shouldn’t)
The Viola could dip into the unsigned player pool and come out with a big name, but not one that would actually help.
Fiorentina is examining potential signings of three free agent midfielders - Marcelo Brozović, Yves Bissouma, and Ismaël Bennacer - but may find it wise to avoid making any moves. The trio all possess qualities that could bolster the team's midfield, but each comes with significant drawbacks. Brozović, at 33, has expressed interest in returning to Italy, but his high salary demands and reported disinterest in Fiorentina's offer could make him a difficult acquisition.
Bissouma, who was previously signed by Fiorentina, wants to remain in the Premier League and may seek higher pay elsewhere, while his off-field behavior and declining athleticism warrant caution. Bennacer, once a key player for AC Milan, is struggling with fitness issues and could be past his prime. While some may argue that signing a seasoned midfielder could provide a temporary answer, the financial and potential talent cost of such signings may not be worth the risk.
Instead, Fiorentina would be better served relying on their current roster and addressing any deficiencies in the transfer window that follows.
