Fiorentina is on the brink of securing their second defensive addition this summer, having struck a deal with Barcelona for the transfer of 18-year-old center-back Eman Kospo.
Transfer Details
According to inside sources, the agreement between the two clubs has been finalized for a fee under €1 million. The deal also includes a sell-on clause benefiting Barcelona. Fiorentina has been monitoring the young defender for several months and is now in the process of completing the necessary paperwork to finalize the transfer.
Kospo`s Background
During the 2024-25 season, Kospo made 12 appearances for Barcelona`s U19 team, including three matches in the UEFA Youth League. This move to Fiorentina represents a significant step in his budding career.
Fiorentina`s Summer Activity
The acquisition of Kospo follows Fiorentina`s earlier signing of Mattia Viti from Empoli, also for the defensive line. Additionally, the club has strengthened their midfield with the acquisition of Jacopo Fazzini.
New Era for Fiorentina
The Tuscan club is entering a new phase under the leadership of Stefano Pioli, who replaced Raffaele Palladino after just one season. These transfers, including Kospo`s imminent arrival, signal Fiorentina`s intent to rebuild and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
