Italian midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo is reportedly on the verge of transferring to Fiorentina after Atalanta agreed to terminate his loan from Galatasaray prematurely. The deal is expected to involve similar terms to Atalanta’s original agreement.

Fiorentina is set to take over the loan from Galatasaray with an option to buy, which could become mandatory under certain conditions, for a total of €17 million. This arrangement mirrors Atalanta’s initial deal, which included a €6.4 million loan fee and a €15.5 million purchase option with €2 million in potential add-ons.

Zaniolo’s time at Atalanta has been marked by injuries and inconsistent performances, resulting in just 23 appearances with three goals and three assists. The club is now in talks with Monza to potentially bring in Daniel Maldini as a replacement, though negotiations are still ongoing.

This transfer would mark another move in Zaniolo’s career, as he seeks to regain his form and make a significant impact in Serie A. The deal’s structure suggests a cautious approach from Fiorentina, likely due to Zaniolo’s recent struggles and injury history.

As the transfer window progresses, all parties involved are working to finalize the details of this complex arrangement, which could see Zaniolo donning the purple jersey of Fiorentina in the near future.
