Davide Calabria, set to become a free agent on June 30, may find himself reuniting with his former AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli at Fiorentina.
The 28-year-old defender, who spent his entire career with AC Milan and rose through their youth ranks to become captain, is now seeking new opportunities. His departure from Milan in January followed a public altercation with coach Sergio Conceicao, resulting in a six-month loan to Bologna.
Interestingly, Calabria achieved a unique feat this season, winning two trophies with different teams – the Italian Super Cup with Milan and the Coppa Italia with Bologna.
As Bologna seems unlikely to offer Calabria a new contract, the Italian international is exploring his options as a free agent. According to reports from Tuttomercatoweb and Il Resto del Carlino, Fiorentina is showing interest in signing Calabria, which would reunite him with his former Milan coach, Pioli.
While other clubs such as Atalanta, Roma, and Galatasaray have also been linked with Calabria, sources suggest he is leaning towards a move to Fiorentina. This potential transfer could provide Calabria with a fresh start and the opportunity to work once again under a familiar coach.
