Fiorentina had hoped to give Koleosho his first Serie A experience, but the fact he had already played for Paris FC proved pivotal.
Last season he made 18 appearances for the French side, scoring three goals with one assist.
The player has committed himself to Italy at youth and senior level, earning two caps in June 2026, even though he also has citizenship with Nigeria, Canada and the USA.
