​Fiorentina have strengthened their squad with the additions of Viery, Arthur Atta, Alex Jimenez, and Radu Dragusin, and they are making significant strides in securing Trabzonspor’s World Cup standout Christ Oulai. The midfielder’s recent performances for Ivory Coast captured La Viola’s attention, prompting a serious push to bring him to Florence. Tuttomercatoweb reports that negotiations between Fiorentina and Trabzonspor are progressing with intensity, having reached a stage that resembles the start of a formal agreement. Next week is expected to be pivotal in determining whether the deal can be sealed.
Oulai has yet to return to Istanbul after the World Cup, contributing to a brief delay in finalizing the transfer. His representatives are actively pressuring for a positive outcome, and there is cautious optimism within the Fiorentina camp that the transfer will go ahead soon. At present, talks suggest a potential deal in the region of €30 million plus bonuses, with Trabzonspor likely to include a sell-on clause in the arrangement. Fiorentina are clearly not leaving anything to chance after their narrow escape from relegation last season; they are adding proven performers who can directly strengthen the first team. Although Oulai represents a certain degree of risk, he arrives on the back of strong form, and there is a real possibility that the move could pay off.
