Fiorentina striker Moise Kean has emerged as a potential target for Roma ahead of the summer transfer window. According to Calciomercato, the Giallorossi are considering a player-plus-cash offer to sign the Italian center-forward.
Despite purchasing Donyell Malen from Aston Villa after a superb short-term loan in the second half of the season, Roma remain in the market for a new goal-getter. Paulo Dybala’s expected exit is part of the reason why Gian Piero Gasperini is keen to add to his attacking options.
Furthermore, Roma are one step away from returning to the Champions League after a lengthy absence. All they need to do to secure their first top-four finish is to beat a relegated Hellas Verona on the final Serie A weekend. That would only increase the need for additional firepower.
Meanwhile, Moise Kean could leave Fiorentina after two years. With La Viola missing out on European qualification after a disastrous season, it’s hard to expect them to be able to convince the 26-year-old to commit his long-term future to Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Roma Consider Summer Bid for Fiorentina Striker Moise Kean
Kean was in scintillating form last season, scoring 19 goals in 32 league appearances to help Fiorentina qualify for the UEFA Conference League. However, La Viola’s fall from grace this term has affected the Italian striker’s output, as he’s netted just eight times in 26 Serie A games.
Unfazed by Kean’s drop-off, Roma are reportedly ready to offer €20 million for his services. That’s a far cry from Fiorentina’s whopping €45 million asking price. Therefore, Gasperini’s men are hoping to include Artem Dovbyk as a makeweight to lower La Viola’s demands.
