Victor Lindelöf’s Potential Move to Fiorentina
Victor Lindelöf is exploring a potential move to Fiorentina, where he could reunite with former Manchester United teammate David de Gea. After a successful stint at United, where he was signed for £31 million in 2017 from Benfica, the Swedish defender has been a free agent since leaving at the conclusion of last season when his contract expired.
Negotiations and Influences
Initially, Lindelöf hesitated to accept a transfer to Italy as he had settled in the northwest of England. However, negotiations with Fiorentina started earlier in the transfer window and have reportedly resumed, with Lindelöf now more open to the idea.
De Gea’s presence at Fiorentina, now entering his second season with the Serie A side, appears to be influencing Lindelöf’s decision. The two have maintained a close friendship since their time together at Old Trafford, where Lindelöf contributed to the club’s success by securing both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup titles during his eight-year tenure.
Current Developments
Despite interest from former United manager Erik ten Hag to bring Lindelöf to Bayer Leverkusen, it seems that Fiorentina has gained the upper hand in these discussions, with sources indicating that talks are advancing well for the player.
