Fiorentina forward urged against Manchester United transfer | OneFootball

Former Italy goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano has urged Fiorentina forward Moise Kean to turn down a transfer to Manchester United.

Kean has been linked with a move to Manchester United after an excellent season in Florence. The 25-year-old scored 25 goals in 44 games across all competitions and was named in the Serie A Team of the Season in 2024/25.

After difficult spells at Everton and Juventus, the upturn in Kean’s performances have not gone unnoticed with United reportedly among the clubs considering a move forward.

Kean has a reported release clause of €52million (£44.5m) that will become active between July 1-15. The Italy international is viewed as a more cost-effective option than Viktor Gyokeres, who has been heavily linked with Old Trafford.

However, ex-Italy goalkeeper Viviano has urged Kean to snub the move. He believes Fiorentina remains the right place for his development and pointed to a series of signings that have struggled at Manchester United.

Speaking to Radio Bruno, he said: “I hope that the boy understands that Florence can still give him a lot: on more coveted stages, he has, in fact, shown that he has failed, and Fiorentina could be ideal for him for at least another year.

“It is true that, on a sporting level, Manchester United are not shining, but they are still one of the most important clubs in the history of football, with considerable economic power.

“Lately, everyone who has gone there has done badly, and I think it will be difficult for him to do worse than what his predecessors have already done.”
