Having confirmed that Stefano Pioli will be returning as the head coach, Fiorentina have picked out a name he knows to strengthen the midfield: Yunus Musah.
There is certainly a bit of mystery about Musah. He seemed to be close to joining Napoli, then everything went quiet because if the slowdown regarding the exit of Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

In a press conference given behind closed doors to various journalists, the sporting director Igli Tare then made it very clear that the American is not a part of the plans, so his suitcases are already packed.
Fiorentina target Musah
According to La Nazione (via Calciomercato.com), the midfield will be the area in which Fiorentina will invest the most energy in this transfer window, regardless of any major sales. The management want to bring in one ‘big’ signing, and Tommaso Fazzini will not be the only addition.
Directors Daniele Pradè and Roberto Goretti have set their sights on Musah, sensing an opening after the deal with Napoli – which seemed to be on the home straight – is now on hold.
La Viola could take advantage of it. The idea would be a loan with an option to buy, along the lines of the Yacine Adli operation, but it remains to be seen if Milan would be convinced given the Napoli negotiations were a €25m permanent deal.
La Gazzetta dello Sport also reported yesterday that the Rossoneri are expecting calls from the Premier League for the former Valencia man, above all from Nottingham Forest.
Pioli didn’t know how to use him at Milan. He’s suddenly gonna figure out how to use him at Fiorentina now?
Musah is better off going to the EPL. Nottingham Forest is a good destination for him. Good coach, good project and young team.
Fio get Musah to give Pioli a midfielder, Pioli proceeds to play him as a winger
Check Fazzinis first name again, please…
Good…good…give us 25 millions+ cash and now, not a single euro minus. And you can have him. I’m tired about Fiorentina little games and their greedy. If we want any of their players…they ask for 30-40 millions. If they want any player from us…they play the cheap card 10 millions max….”we don’t have enough money…we are poor….we pay little and next year…” So on, so on… My answer for all of this is from Fiorentina : F## off ! Money now and the amount I want or no deal ! Next !
