Attributed to original sourceFiorentina have agreed an €18m deal to buy Everton striker Beto, realising Joshua Zirkzee was stalling Manchester United for Juventus, therefore freeing Moise Kean for Como.
The final hours of the transfer window mean there are several domino effect situations that all depend on each other to go through.
Beto frees Kean and Zirkzee MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – MAY 20: Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United looks on during a Manchester United training session ahead of the UEFA Europa League Final 2025 between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United at Carrington Training Ground on May 20, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images) It was known for several days that Kean was all set for Como, on loan for €5m with obligation to buy for another €30m and €5m in add-ons, but Fiorentina would not let him leave until they had a replacement.
They pushed all the way for Zirkzee from Manchester United, but realised late Sunday evening that the Dutchman only had his heart set on Juventus.
In turn, the Bianconeri were finally able to make an offer for Zirkzee for the loan with option to buy for €30m because Atletico Madrid are pushing for Jonathan David.

The former Udinese striker returns to Serie A for a fee of €17-18m , depending on the source cited , and is expected in Italy for his medical on Monday.
At the same time, Kean can go to Como for his tests and complete that transfer.

What happened
Italian football is on the verge of a transfer domino effect originating from Fiorentina. With Nico Gonzalez having already left for Atletico Madrid (and subsequently Juventus), Fiorentina are now exploring a move for Everton striker Beto to fill the attacking void. If Beto arrives, Moise Kean could be pushed out of Florence, with newly promoted Como emerging as a potential destination. Juventus, meanwhile, are monitoring Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee as they look to reinforce their forward line, continuing the ripple effect across Serie A's transfer market.
Chance analysis
Transfer chains like this are common in Serie A's late-summer window, where one move triggers a cascade. Fiorentina's need to replace Nico Gonzalez is the catalyst, and Beto represents a physical, goal-scoring profile that fits their system. Kean's potential exit to Como would be notable given Como's ambitious project under Cesc Fabregas, though it would raise questions about Kean's trajectory after a mixed spell at Fiorentina. Juventus targeting Zirkzee signals continued squad restructuring in Turin as they seek younger attacking options, though prising him from Manchester United won't be straightforward.
Fiorentina reshuffle their forward line with Beto potentially arriving and Kean departing, while Juventus target Zirkzee to strengthen their attack.
