Inter Milan, Parma & Eintracht Frankfurt Stars Top List Of Midfield Targets For Pioli's Fiorentina

Yahoo17-07-2025
Kristjan Asllani, Adrian Bernabe, Simon Sohm, and Hugo Larsson are on Stefano Pioli's midfield shortlist at FIorentina.
This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Stefano Pioli has returned as Fiorentina coach. And one of the first orders of business for the veteran coach will be to shore up La Viola's midfield.
Above all, the Tuscan club need a holding midfielder.
And Pioli's preference is for a deep-lying playmaker. That would be important for him to implement his style of play at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Asllani, Bernabe, Sohm & Larsson On Pioli Midfield Shortlist
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Fiorentina's top target in midfield would be Parma's Adrian Bernabe.
However, the Gialloblu are seeking a fee of €25 million for the Spaniard.
Similarly, Inter want €18-20 million for Kristjan Asllani, another top target for Pioli.
Then, another Parma midfielder, Simon Sohm, is also a target for Fiorentina. The Emilian club would demand a fee of around €12 million for Sohm.
That is within reach for Fiorentina. However, Sohm is more of a purely defensive midfielder.
Lastly, an ambitious target for La Viola would be Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Larsson. The 21-year-old Swedish international would cost €25 million, but would add qualities both defensively and in possession.

Eric Bailly handed career lifeline by two surprise Italian clubs

Former Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is wanted by two Italian clubs. Difficult career after United The Ivorian has had his difficulties since leaving England. He struggled whilst in Turkey for Besiktas after leaving United and had his contract cancelled after only a matter of months at the club. Bailly then signed for his former club Villarreal but failed to make much of an impact. The Ivory Coast international was then released from the Spanish side earlier this summer. Saudi move fell through The 31-year-old centre back looked like he would be on his way to Saudi Arabia to play for Al Najmah SC. Nonetheless, this deal never came to pass as Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that the move broke down due to Bailly deciding to walk away from negotiations. Italian interest Italian website Calciomercato have reported that there are a couple of teams in Italy who hold an interest in the centre back. They claim that Serie A could be in Bailly's future very soon. The website states that 'the player's team has offered him a Serie A deal with Cagliari and Cremonese: both the Sardinian and Lombard clubs are interested in him.' Salary Obstacle Nonetheless, a deal will not be plain sailing for the free agent. The site reports that 'the biggest obstacle at the moment is a salary request of at least €1 million.' A move to Italy would add to 'an impressive CV', after spells in Spain, England, France and Turkey. Bailly will hope wherever he lands, he can put together some significant time on the pitch. He has not been able to play more than 25 games in a season since his debut campaign with Man United back in 2016/2017. Follow us on Bluesky: @

Inter keeping an eye on Morten Frendrup and Mandela Keita

Serie A giants Inter are keeping an eye on Genoa's Morten Frendrup and Parma star Mandela Keita. La Gazzetta dello Sport report today that the Nerazzurri are considering the sale of Piotr Zielinski. While getting a new club for him is difficult because of his age, contract and injury history across the previous season, Cristian Chivu wants a midfielder who is a ball-winner. As a result, Inter are keeping an eye on Frendrup. They have already inquired about the Dane when Inter spoke to Genoa about Valentin Carboni some weeks ago. Piero Ausilio has been monitoring him closely for a year now and the midfielder's current valuation is at €20 million. Keita's valuation at Parma is quite the same. Chivu likes the Belgian from his time at Parma and everything can now hinge on Inter's sales and how much they invest in Ademola Lookman. Balancing incomings and outgoings will help them sign another midfielder. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Dybala to return for preseason friendly with Cannes

Good news for Gasperini, who will soon be able to count on Paulo Dybala and Tommaso Baldanzi again. Baldanzi missed the match against Kaiserslautern due to a muscle strain, but tests have ruled out any injuries. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Empoli player will return to training with the team in the coming days. The same goes for Dovbyk, who is still resting after some thigh problems but is recovering. Paulo Dybala, who was kept on precautionary rest during the trip to Germany, is also expected to return on Thursday for the friendly against Cannes at the Tre Fontane stadium. The team is therefore approaching peak condition ahead of the first competitive matches of the season.
