Italian club Fiorentina is gearing up to present striker Moise Kean with a new, more lucrative contract. This development comes as the player`s current release clause is set to expire in less than 48 hours, according to reports from Italy.
SkySport reported today that Fiorentina aims to initiate negotiations on Wednesday, offering to nearly double Kean`s annual salary from €2.2 million to €4 million. This move is seen as an attempt to secure the 25-year-old`s future with the club.
Kean Attracts Interest, but Fiorentina Confident of Retention
The Italian forward has garnered significant attention following his impressive performance in the 2024-25 Serie A season, where he finished as the second-highest goalscorer with 19 goals in 32 appearances. Premier League giants Manchester United were rumored to be considering activating Kean`s release clause, but the window for such action is rapidly closing.
Interest in Kean extended beyond European borders, with Saudi Pro League clubs Al Qadsiah and Al Hilal reportedly making concrete offers. However, Al Qadsiah ultimately secured a deal with Atalanta forward Mateo Retegui instead.
Despite the lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, reports suggest that Kean is more interested in continuing his career at a high level in Europe. The striker appears to have prioritized competitive football over financial incentives, rejecting the opportunity to move to the Middle East.
As negotiations are set to begin, Fiorentina seems optimistic about retaining their star striker, potentially securing his services for the foreseeable future.
