Amir Richardson, the promising 2002-born midfielder from Reims, is on the verge of signing with Fiorentina, with the deal nearly finalized. The Italian club has reached an agreement with the French side for a transfer fee around €10 million, and only a few final details with the player remain before the transfer can be completed.
Recently, Richardson celebrated winning a bronze medal with the Moroccan national team at the Paris Olympics, representing the country of his mother. Now, he is set to make a significant step in his career, moving from Ligue 1 to Serie A. Standing at an impressive 195 centimeters, his height will certainly add to Fiorentina’s midfield presence. Last season, he scored three goals and provided an assist in 28 appearances for Reims. Additionally, he was part of the Moroccan squad that won the Under-23 World Cup, further showcasing his talent.
Meanwhile, negotiations for another midfielder, Tessmann from Venezia, are currently at a standstill. However, talks for Albert Gudmundsson have progressed positively in recent hours. Fiorentina is eager to finalize this signing as well, having already reached a preliminary agreement with Genoa prior to Mateo Retegui’s move to Atalanta. It looks like only a few final details stand in the way of Gudmundsson joining Fiorentina, with the total fee expected to be around €25 million, potentially increasing with bonuses, thanks to the mutual desire from both the club and the player.
