Roma monitoring Fiorentina’s Fortini as defensive signing

Frederic Massara is currently trying to significantly accelerate the Giallorossi’s incoming transfers, with Raspadori and Zirkzee remaining the most talked-about names.

Not only that.

According to today’s edition of Il Messaggero, Gian Piero Gasperini is also keen on a defensive reinforcement and has reportedly requested Fiorentina’s Niccolò Fortini.

The Viola’s number 29 has made 13 Serie A appearances so far, yet has never scored or assisted.

The 2006-born midfielder has returned to Florence after a loan spell in Serie B with Juve Stabia, and his contract expires in June 2027.

In yesterday’s match against Lazio, the 19-year-old spent the entire match on the bench.

Given Tsimikas’s poor performance on the left flank in the first half of the season, the Piedmontese coach would like a reinforcement to give Wesley a rest.

The Brazilian, who arrived a few months ago from Flamengo, has already been transformed into one of the most effective full-backs in Serie A, and two top Premier League clubs are interested in him.
