On Wednesday, it was revealed that Felipe Anderson had become a target for Fiorentina.
Gazzetta dello Sport appeared to be the ones launching it, and it’s since spread to the local newspapers, who are now up to date on the situation.
As things stand, the Brazilian, currently owned by West Ham but loaned to FC Porto, remains an alternative to Aleksandr Kokorin, who appears to be edging closer to a move to Italy.
However, the club’s owner, Rocco Commissio, has yet to give the green light for the Russian’s transfer, which is why the former Lazio man remains a very viable option.
Corriere Fiorentino, for example, explain Daniele Pradè, the club’s director of football, ‘values with great attention’ a move for Felipe Anderson, as he ‘likes him a lot’.
La Nazione agree with this, stating the ‘transfer men’ at Fiorentina are keeping open ‘the way’ leading to the Brazil international, although they would need to ‘move quickly’ and would also need to ‘talk with the Englishmen’.
That tends to be a great place to start when wanting to get a transfer done, if you ask us.
