Palladino’s Fiorentina is serious about acquiring Weston McKennie. The American player, who returned to Turin two days ago, is out of Juventus’ plans.
According to a report by La Nazione, the two clubs could swiftly reach an agreement.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that McKennie’s potential transfer to the Tuscan capital is gaining momentum.
“The interest from Fiorentina is genuine,” a source familiar with the situation told La Nazione.
While no official bid has been made, discussions are reportedly advancing.
The 25-year-old midfielder has been linked with several clubs across Europe, but Fiorentina is emerging as a strong contender.
Palladino’s side is keen to bolster their squad ahead of the new season, and McKennie fits their profile perfectly.
Should the transfer materialise, it would signify a fresh start for McKennie, who has struggled to secure a regular spot in Juventus under their current management.
Fiorentina fans will be eagerly following this development, hoping to see McKennie don the purple jersey soon.
