Torino talks fail, Juve send Mandragora to Fiorentina

Torino did not take up their option to buy Rolando Mandragora from Juventus, so he is on the verge of a move to Fiorentina instead.

The midfielder had been on loan with the Granata since February 2021 and there was an option to buy at the end of this season for a total €14m, but Toro requested a discount and tried to negotiate it down.

Juventus refused to go below €10.5m, whereas their city rivals at most reached €9m between the loan fee and buy-out clause.

Mandragora made 23 competitive appearances for Toro this season, contributing one goal and two assists.

Sassuolo were also interested, but RAI Sport Toscana claim a deal is imminent with Fiorentina for the sale.

He turns 25 later this week and has been on the Juventus books since 2016, going on various loans to Pescara, Crotone, Udinese and Torino, but his career was affected by several injuries.

His contract with the Bianconeri runs to June 2025.
