Report: Atlético join race to sign Fiorentina loanee
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
However, Los Colchoneros will face competition as they look to add the Bahia Blanca native to their squad, given the fact he is currently on a season-long loan deal with Fiorentina, who reserve an option to sign him permanently for €10 million come the end of the campaign.
While it remains to be seen whether La Viola intend to buy him outright from Real Betis, reports suggest the Della Valle brothers are willing to back coach Stefano Pioli on the transfer market as they look to make the club a competitive force in Serie A again.
