Gabbiadini to replace Kalinic?

If Fiorentina sell Nikola Kalinic to Tianjin Quanjian, they could turn to Napoli forward Manolo Gabbiadini.

The Viola confirmed today they are waiting for the formal proposal from China before making a decision on Kalinic’s future.

He has a €50m release clause in his contract, but the offer is believed to be in the region of €38m.

If Fiorentina sell Nikola Kalinic to Tianjin Quanjian, they could turn to Napoli forward Manolo Gabbiadini.

This evening Kalinic’s representative Fali Ramadani flew in to Milan for negotiations with Fiorentina director Pantaleo Corvino.

The replacement would likely be Haris Seferovic on loan for six months, as he is also represented by Ramadani.

However, Sky Sport Italia suggest Fiorentina could turn to Napoli and reinvest the Kalinic cash for Gabbiadini.

He has no place at the Stadio San Paolo and is not convinced by the proposals that have come in from Wolfsburg, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City.

It’s not the first time the Viola have shown an interest in Gabbiadini, who would cost €22m.
