Beltran could leave Fiorentina with Sassuolo and Galatasaray interested | OneFootball

Lucas Beltran is expected to leave Fiorentina this summer, with Sassuolo, Galatasaray and River Plate all interested in the striker.

The versatile forward is still only 24 years of age, but already feels like something of a veteran since his €12.6m move from River Plate in 2023.

There were also numerous add-ons on top of that deal and he has managed to amass five senior caps for Argentina.

With the player under contract until June 2028, transfer pundit Ekrem Konur claims that Fiorentina have decided Beltran can leave in the summer.

There are plenty of alternatives waiting for the forward, including newly-promoted Serie A side Sassuolo.

It is reported the Neroverdi are prepared to pay €25-30m in order to tempt him over to the Mapei Stadium.

A move abroad is another option, as Galatasaray are also in the running, while a return to his previous club River Plate is entirely possible too.

That had already been suggested ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

He has made 98 competitive appearances for Fiorentina, scoring 16 goals and contributing nine assists.
