Multiple sources are confident Fiorentina have agreed the sale of centre-forward Arthur Cabral to Benfica for €20m plus another €5m in bonuses and are closing on Lucas Beltran and M’Bala Nzola.
The confirmation comes from both Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia.
The 25-year-old Brazilian had only been signed from FC Basel in January 2022 for €15.5m as a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic.
He found the net 17 times with two assists in 48 competitive games for the Viola last season, helping them reach the Final of both the Coppa Italia and the Europa Conference League.
Fiorentina have already found the heir to Cabral in the form of 22-year-old Lucas Beltran, who is set to arrive from River Plate for a total sum of €20m including add-ons.
Meanwhile, the same sources are also confident that negotiations are in full flow with Spezia for Nzola at a cost of circa €10m.
The Angola international is also known to be a target for Roma.
What happened Commisso? You were telling us that he’s better than Vlahovic and that this was the deal of the century. That’s it? Not your hero anymore?
