Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso is preparing for a critical meeting with striker Moise Kean to discuss the player`s future at the club. Despite growing interest from other teams, Commisso hopes to convince Kean to remain in Florence beyond this season.
The two previously met in Cagliari during a team retreat, establishing a rapport based on mutual respect. They agreed to resume discussions after the season`s conclusion, with the final match against Udinese approaching this weekend.
Kean`s performances under coach Raffaele Palladino have been remarkable, with the striker scoring 24 goals across all competitions. This resurgence has not only reestablished him as a key figure in Serie A but also earned him a recall to the Italian national team.
While Kean is grateful to Fiorentina for their faith in him, his ambitions may complicate negotiations. The club`s likely participation in the Conference League next season might not align with Kean`s aspirations, especially with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon.
Adding to the complexity is a €52 million release clause in Kean`s contract, valid from July 1 to 15. This has already attracted interest from several clubs, including some in the Premier League.
Commisso recognizes the importance of these talks and is reportedly prepared to present a project that matches Kean`s ambitions, both financially and in sporting terms. Fiorentina must convince Kean that they can compete for more than just a third-tier European trophy next season to outweigh the allure of bigger clubs.
The outcome of these discussions will be crucial for both Kean`s career trajectory and Fiorentina`s plans for the upcoming season.
