The last 12 months have been difficult for Dejan Kulusevski at Tottenham. Attempts are ongoing to secure an exit and his situation could be linked to another Spurs player.
The Swede missed the entirety of last season and this came after he was impressive in the 2024/25 campaign. Under Ange Postecoglou, Kulusevski contributed to 11 league goals and also contributed to four goals in the Europa League winning campaign.
That was a sign of his importance to the club, as he played across attack under the Australian. Soon after, injury problems struck.
Sport Witness covered how the player was keen on staying, but this may not be the case any longer.
Paratici handed transfer chance
Fiorentina have had an ambitious transfer window so far and are still keen on making attacking signings.
Quotidiano Sportivo report Alejandro Garnacho was a possible target. The Argentine is now inching closer to an Aston Villa move. In the meantime, Tottenham’s Kulusevski has been offered to La Viola.
Fabio Paratici’s involvement has been key. He worked closely with the Swede and his entourage, not just Spurs but also at Juventus, where he signed him from Atalanta.
Kulusevski, as a result, has been described as a Paratici ‘loyalist’.
Our take: Spurs’ stance key
For now, there is little clarity about Tottenham’s intentions around Kulusevski. The player’s fitness will be key. If the 26-year-old isn’t ready in time for the season, Fiorentina moving for him would make little sense.
Manor Solomon is more feasible for the Italian side. He played a part in their relegation survival last season and he is out of Roberto De Zerbi’s plans.
Tottenham signed him for free and anything they earn will go down as a capital gain. With no other suitors stepping forward, letting him go quickly would be a good decision from Spurs.
