Fiorentina’s owner Rocco Commisso has admitted that he cannot guarantee that Moise Kean remains at the club, amid AC Milan links.
It was reported in the past few days that Milan had enquired about the signing of Kean. It is a request for information from Milan that Massimiliano Allegri wanted to carry out, who has always been a great admirer of the former Juventus and PSG striker.
Fiorentina address rumours
Now, Rocco Commisso – the owner of Fiorentina – addressed the speculation in an interview with TGR Rai Toscana (via MilanPress).
“We hope Kean stays with us,” he declared, words that do not reassure the Viola fans too much, who could see their favorite leave. He also added: “You have seen the signings we are making.” Could it be a hint that sales are needed to fund them?
As Calciomercato.com report, Kean is being courted by Milan, Napoli, Saudi Arabia, but above all Manchester United. He has attracted the attention of several top European clubs and beyond, with the Red Devils considering triggering his clause.
From July 1st to 15th there is a €52m release clause active in the Italian’s contract. That is what any interested club must pay, with Saudi side Al-Qadsiah having said they are ready to put €97m on the table factoring in the clause and salary. It is an offer that has not convinced the player.
The final word will then go to the centre-forward, who is currently relaxing on holiday. In the meantime, Fiorentina are carefully monitoring the evolution of the situation. If the player decides to stay, they could review the current contract by removing the clause, with a salary raise in exchange.
He had a great season last year but still…Anywhere near €52mn is too high
