Fiorentina make history: Piccoli could be their most expensive signing ever | OneFootball

Commisso invests in the future: 25 million to Cagliari, with bonuses up to 30. Pioli will have a top-notch offensive department. Fiorentina is ready to rewrite its transfer market history with the arrival of Roberto Piccoli, a forward born in 2001, coming from Cagliari.

Fiorentina, historical coup: Piccoli could become the most expensive purchase ever

The operation, initially worth 25 million euros, could reach 30 million with bonuses linked to performance and objectives, making the center forward the most expensive purchase ever for the club, surpassing the 27 million spent for Nico Gonzalez.

The details of the operation

After weeks of negotiations, Rocco Commisso decided to abandon the idea of an expensive loan, opting for a direct and ambitious investment. The player will sign a five-year contract until 2030 and, once the medical examinations are completed, could be officially announced in the next few hours. Interestingly, his debut against his former club is already scheduled for Sunday at Domus Arena.

For Cagliari, this is the second excellent sale in a few days, after that of Nadir Zortea to Bologna. The two players had contributed to 16 of the 40 goals scored by the Rossoblu in the last championship.

An increasingly ambitious Fiorentina

With the arrival of Piccoli, Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina adds a new element to an attack that can already count on Edin Dzeko and Moise Kean, two highly experienced profiles. The former Cagliari player, who scored 11 goals last season in the league and cups, will have the opportunity to grow in a technically evolving context, while the club still has to resolve the situation of Lucas Beltrán, now out of the project.

Prospects for the season

Commisso's choice confirms the intention to raise the competitive level of the team, investing in promising young players and simultaneously on experienced profiles to ensure immediate results. The purchase of Piccoli, in addition to representing an economic record, testifies to the desire to consolidate Fiorentina as a protagonist both in Serie A and in European competitions.
