Nicolo Fagioli has emerged as a target for two Premier League clubs, with his path out of Fiorentina potentially opening up before the transfer window closes.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur on X, both Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are readying themselves to compete for the Italy international, with interest from England growing in recent days.
A move abroad is reportedly viewed as part of Fiorentina’s broader transfer strategy this summer, rather than something the club would resist.
Torreira lined up as Fagioli’s replacement at Fiorentina
Should an offer arrive, Fiorentina are prepared to fill the gap in midfield with the return of Lucas Torreira, with the coming days expected to be decisive in determining whether the move goes through.
Fagioli joined Fiorentina from Juventus in a deal completed last year and quickly established himself as a key figure in the Viola midfield, impressing enough to draw praise even without an international call-up.
Now 25, he’d represent an important signing for either Forest or Palace as both clubs look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new Premier League season.
