What happened
Fiorentina have opened negotiations with Sassuolo over the transfer of Kristian Thorstvedt. Sassuolo are demanding €15 million for the Norwegian international. Thorstvedt, who plays as a midfielder, has been identified as a target by Fiorentina as they look to strengthen their squad. The talks indicate a concrete approach from the Tuscan club, though a deal has not yet been finalized.
Chance analysis
Thorstvedt is a versatile midfielder who can also contribute goals from deep, making him an attractive option for Fiorentina. A €15m price tag is significant for a Sassuolo player but reflects his quality and contract situation. If completed, this move would bolster Fiorentina's midfield options and represent another sale for Sassuolo, who regularly develop and sell talent in Serie A.
Fiorentina could strengthen their midfield with a goal-scoring option if they meet Sassuolo's €15m valuation, while Sassuolo risk losing a key squad player.
If the transfer completes, Fiorentina gain midfield reinforcement; if it stalls, they may need alternative targets before the window closes.
