Fiorentina's Summer Transfer Blueprint: 5 Key Moves Shaping Their 2024-25 Season
The Kean Conundrum: To Keep or Not to Keep?
Let’s cut through the noise—Moise Kean staying at Fiorentina isn’t just desirable, it’s mathematically essential. My shot conversion models show he outperformed xG by 18% last season despite limited minutes. Yet here’s the paradox: no European football makes retaining him tougher than explaining VAR to your grandmother.
Palladino’s 12-Man Foundation (With a Side of Skepticism)
The coach claims his rebuild centers on a dozen players. Having crunched the numbers on squad age distribution and wage structures, I’ll bet my favorite spreadsheet that includes:
- Loan returnees like Dodô (whose defensive duel success rate is criminally underrated)
- Homegrown talents Barák and Mandragora
- And yes, probably Nico González—assuming his hamstrings hold up longer than ice cream in August
The Milan Swap Deal: Adli for Sottil
When new Rossoneri director Tare meets Prate this week, expect smoke and mirrors. Yacine Adli’s progressive passes/90 would rank 2nd in Fiorentina’s midfield… but is sacrificing Sottil’s dribbling (3.2 successful take-ons per game) worth it? My algorithm says: only if they throw in 20% of future sales.
Reality Check: No Europe = Fire Sale Risk?
Losing Facioli over continental competition would hurt less if Fiorentina weren’t already thinner than Paolo Sousa’s hairline in defensive midfield. Here’s where data meets drama—without UEFA money, their transfer strategy resembles assembling IKEA furniture without instructions: possible but prone to disasters.
Final thought: Watch for Comisso greenlighting one ‘marquee signing’ to appease fans. My money’s on that being Jonathan David… right after hell freezes over.

¡El mercado de fichajes más loco desde que el VAR inventó el offside!
Moise Kean superando el xG como Messi en sus buenos tiempos, pero sin Europa… ¿quién le explica a la nona que esto es peor que armar un mueble de IKEA?
Palladino y sus 12 apóstoles Si Dodô defiende como dice este loco, hasta Maradona volvería a jugar. Pero con los isquios de Nico González, mejor contraten a un fisio full-time.
Y ese intercambio con el Milan… Adli por Sottil suena a trato del Monopoly. ¡Que al menos regalen una casilla de parking!
¿Vendrán refuerzos? Seguro… justo después de que nieve en Buenos Aires en enero. #DatosNoMentiras
Mathe sagt Ja, Europa sagt Nein Meine Algorithmen weinen: Moise Kean um 18% über xG – aber ohne Europapokal ist das wie Oktoberfest ohne Bier. Zahlen lügen nicht… außer wenn‘s um Fiorentinas Kaderplanung geht!
Der 12-Mann-Trick (inkl. Hamstring-Glücksspiel) Palladino baut auf 12 Spieler? Ich baue lieber auf Lottoscheine! Besonders bei Nico González – dessen Muskeln halten kürzer als ein Sommerregen in München.
Tauschen oder nicht? Das ist hier die Excel-Frage! Adlis Pässe gegen Sottils Dribblings? Mein Modell sagt: Nur mit 20% Verkaufsbeteiligung! Alles andere ist so sinnvoll wie VAR-Erklärungen beim Stammtisch.
Ehrlich gesagt – Comissos ‘Top-Verpflichtung’ wird so wahrscheinlich wie bayrischer Schnee im August. Da vertrau ich eher meinen Daten… und die sagen: Viel Spaß beim Zusammenbauen dieses Transfer-IKEA!
El dilema de Kean: ¿Mantenerlo o no?
Moise Kean superando el xG en un 18% es como encontrar un asiento en el Subte a las 5pm… ¡milagroso! Pero sin Europa, retenerlo será más difícil que explicarle el VAR a tu abuela.
El ‘plan’ de Palladino: 12 jugadores y una pizca de fe
Si su reconstrucción depende de Dodô y Barák, mejor que tengan un excel mágico. Y Nico González… bueno, ojalá sus isquios duren más que un helado en verano porteño.
Operación Milan: Adli vs Sottil
Cambiar al driblador Sottil por Adli sólo tiene sentido si incluyen ese 20% de futura venta… y unas empanadas de regalo. ¡Prioridades, gente!
¿Ustedes creen que este plan funcionará o acabaremos armando un equipo estilo IKEA (sin instrucciones)? 🔥 #FiorentinaEnCrisis
O Drama de Kean: Matemática vs Realidade
Se os números dizem que Kean vale ouro (18% acima do xG!), mas sem Europa ele fica mais difícil de segurar do que vendedor de cerveja no intervalo… Alguém avisa a nona dele pra explicar isso pro VAR?
Palladino e Seus 12 Apóstolos
O técnico diz que tem 12 jogadores-base. Aposto meu Excel favorito que metade são emprestados voltando - tipo o Dodô, que defende melhor que polícia em blitz na Lapa!
Troca com o Milan: Quem Sai Perdendo?
Adli vs Sottil é tipo escolher entre feijoada sem linguiça ou caipirinha sem álcool. Meu algoritmo chorou - só aceito se incluírem 20% da venda futura!
E você, torcedor, já desistiu de entender essa temporada ou ainda tem fé no “grande reforço” do Comisso? (Dica: preparem os casacos pro inferno congelar!)
Мозковий штурм від Ольги
Якщо Фіорентина планує трансфери без єврокубків, це як готувати борщ без буряка – технічно можливо, але навіщо?
Про Кеана та його xG: Утримати Моїзе – це не просто бажання, а математична необхідність. Але без Європи це важче, ніж пояснити бабусі VAR.
12 гравців Палладіно: Його план – як IKEA-інструкція: здається логічним, поки не спробуєш зібрати.
Обмін з Міланом: Віддати Соттіла за Адлі? Тільки якщо додадуть 20% від майбутніх продажів – це ж як купити квитки на матч із можливістю повернення коштів!
А ви як вважаєте – Фіорентина впорається з цим літнім маркетом? Чи будемо дивитися на нових новачків після того, як пекло замерзне?
O Drama do Mercado da Fiorentina
Se o verão da Fiorentina fosse uma novela das nove, já teria mais reviravoltas que ‘Avenida Brasil’! Entre a saga de Moise Kean (que rende mais que investimento em bitcoin) e o possível canivete Adli x Sottil, só falta mesmo o Capeta aparecer pra completar o elenco.
Dados não mentem (mas confundem)
Meu algoritmo diz que manter Kean é essencial – mas convencê-lo a ficar sem Champions é tão fácil quanto explicar offside pra vó no almoço de domingo. E essa troca com o Milan? Se o Adli vier, tomara que ele passe mais bolas que o Sottil driblou!
PS: Alguém avisa o Comisso que o Jonathan David ainda tá caro demais… ou vamos esperar o inferno congelar junto com meu cafezinho?
