Coveted Fiorentina and Monza Stars Have Release Clauses | OneFootball

Moise Kean and Daniel Maldini have grabbed the headlines thanks to their goals and stellar showings at the start of the season, which have led to a burgeoning transfer market interest, especially in the latter. On the other hand, Fiorentina and Monza protected themselves by inserting release clauses in their contracts.

Per Sky, the Milan product transferred on a free even though he had another year on his deal. The Rossoneri have a 50 percent resale clause but no first refusal or matching rights. The attacker can be poached for €12M by an Italian side and €15M by a foreign one.

Monza and Fiorentina were hopeful Maldini and Kean would find their footing with them, but the marksman has vastly exceeded expectations after a dismal return to Juventus. The Viola are in the driver’s seat to keep him for years to come, Corriere dello Sport informs (via Calciomercato).

They invested €13M plus €5M bonuses to acquire him. His release clause has been set at €52M, which is basically unmatchable for Serie A teams. He might draw offers at some point, as he’s still fairly young even though he has starred for a few big outfits already.

Our Take on Maldini and Kean

The Gigliati have had great success plucking underutilized players from top teams. Their hunger to prove themselves permeates the whole squad. The sum is sky-high, and he’ll stay put for a while. Instead, the Monza starlet is bound to leave eventually since the heavyweights are already circling him. The figure might be a tad rich, but there’s generally room to negotiate with the Brianzoli. It won’t happen, but he wouldn’t be a bad Christian Pulisic deputy for Milan, and they’d have to pay half than other suitors.
