The deadline is Tuesday: the Arab club offers 20 million a year. Commisso`s club offers the striker double his current salary.
Four days until the deadline. And every day could bring new developments. Moise Kean`s future is still unclear. It will certainly be defined on Tuesday, the date when the 52 million euro release clause expires. This clause was inserted last summer when the striker moved from Juventus to Fiorentina, where he has truly revitalized his career and, above all, exploded, scoring 19 league goals under the guidance of Raffaele Palladino.
Another Arab Interest
Meanwhile, yesterday saw the emergence of new interest, again from Saudi Arabia, this time from Al Hilal. Unlike Al Qadsiah (who later signed Retegui), Al Hilal has inquired about the national team striker. Although no official offer has been formalized to the player`s agent Alessandro Lucci, there is talk of a proposal even more `indecent` than the 15 million euros per season offered by Al Qadsiah. In this case, the offer is reported to be 20 million euros per year for four seasons.
Moise Reflects
It`s difficult not to be tempted, but the Fiorentina number 20 had already said no to Al Qadsiah precisely because he wants to continue his career in Europe. A move to the Arab world would mean losing many contacts and relationships. Furthermore, Kean successfully pursues his passion for music, being a rapper, an activity he has no intention of giving up. The new national team coach Rino Gattuso has guaranteed that he will continue to call up players who move to Arabia (like Retegui). It would be peculiar to see the two main Italian strikers playing for Al Qadsiah and Al Hilal. The presence of an Italian coach and staff at Al Hilal could be a factor Moise might consider, feeling more protected and well-supported.
Manchester Interest
However, the feeling is that the striker, clearly torn during these crucial July days, wants to carefully evaluate the concrete possibilities for the continuation of his career. While Al Hilal only made initial contact yesterday, Manchester United has been making moves to secure the striker for several weeks now. The Premier League is appealing and fascinating to Moise, who is eagerly waiting to see if a real and substantial offer will indeed arrive from the English club this decisive weekend.
Fiorentina`s Renewal Offer
But remaining on the table, and it`s not insignificant, is Fiorentina`s move. The club led by Rocco Commisso greatly values its striker and has presented a serious and substantial counter-offer. Currently, Kean earns 2.2 million euros net at Fiorentina; the Viola`s offer proposes a doubling, bringing the salary to about 4 million euros. This proposal is very attractive to the player, who feels extremely comfortable in Florence, where he is highly valued, protected, and benefits from a significantly positive and important human environment. Fiorentina has absolutely no intention of selling their champion and is anxiously awaiting him at Viola Park to begin training under Stefano Pioli, a coach considered ideal for immediately building a good relationship with him. In Italy, Massimiliano Allegri, the new AC Milan coach, has shown interest, but no offer has come from the Rossoneri club. Napoli, also looking for a striker, remains a possibility to monitor. However, even if he returned to Champions League football at Napoli, Moise would not have the same central status he enjoys in Florence.
