January could be a month of big changes for Fiorentina. Several players seem ready to leave the Viola.

Fiorentina is gearing up for a winter transfer window full of changes. While on one hand, they are working to strengthen the squad with new signings, on the other hand, the Viola club is planning a series of departures to reduce the wage bill and provide more opportunities for players looking for continuity.

Fiorentina, Parisi seeking space

Fabiano Parisi is among the players who could leave Fiorentina in this transfer window. The young full-back, despite getting some playing time in recent weeks, has expressed a desire to play more regularly. Loan options with buyout clauses may also be considered for him, with some Italian teams already showing interest.

Torino’s interest in Kouame

Christian Kouame is not among the main surplus players, but his salary of €1.8 million per season and the interest from several clubs, especially Torino, make him a potential departure. Torino’s sporting director, Davide Vagnati, is monitoring the situation, although not considering him an absolute priority. If Fiorentina were to receive a suitable offer, the Ivorian forward could move in January.

Uncertain future for Ikoné

Jonathan Ikoné is another player on the fence. After three seasons at Fiorentina, the Frenchman has not been able to fully express the potential seen in France. In the summer, he turned down lucrative offers from Arab clubs to stay in Serie A, but his salary of €1.6 million per season is a burden for the club. Fiorentina is ready to let him go, provided a satisfactory offer comes in.

Fiorentina, Biraghi’s certain departure

Among the confirmed departures is Cristiano Biraghi, Viola’s captain now only on paper. With a salary of €1.7 million, the full-back is set to move on. The club is already evaluating options to replace him, while the player seeks a new challenge to revitalize his career and find regularity.

Pongracic and the burden of €16 million

Finally, there is Marin Pongracic, purchased in the summer from Lecce for a hefty €16 million. His only start in Serie A was against Parma, marred by a red card.

Since then, Palladino has often preferred less experienced alternatives. While there are no immediate evaluations on him, his salary exceeding €2 million and his underwhelming performance could prompt Fiorentina to deeply consider offers.

Of course, it is very unlikely that all these departures will happen in this transfer window, as January is a very complicated month for transfers and finding suitable alternatives to replace all these players would be quite challenging. However, the avenues of the transfer market are endless, and each day may bring different surprises.
