Fiorentina have had one of their worst seasons in their history as they have spent most of their campaign in the relegation zone. However, they have slowly clawed themselves from 20th to 17th to try and stay in Serie A. A relegation would be disastrous for a club the size and with the wage bill of Fiorentina, but they are fighting to survive.

This lead to some clubs thinking that some of their key players would be for sale in January, as they look to dump some wages for the possibility of them incase they down. Moise Kean was the main sought after but there was very real rumours surrounding the striker. Al Hilal had serious interest as they look to replace Marcos Leonardo before he joined Atletico Madrid.

Fiorentina’s Italian forward Moise Kean looks on during the Serie A football match between SSC Napoli and Fiorentina. SSC Napoli won 2-1.

There was a less known name in rumours which was Niccolo Fortini. The youngster has emerged for Fiorentina has already seen some big interest from around Serie a. Napoli and Roma have already shown interest but there interest has been rumours at best, with no official offers being made to sign Fortini. However, Fiorentina aren’t waiting for someone to do so.

This comes as Fiorentina want to secure his future with the Viola, so they are set to offer a contract extension to Fortini. This comes from Nico Schira which states that Fiorentina has offered Fortini a deal until the end of the 2029/30 season. This is as Fiorentina are trying to entice Fortini with Fiorentina despite oncoming interest.

His new offer will likely come with a pay rise to reward him for his improvements this season. A higher wage will also stop other teams as there offers will be less enticing to the young Italian. The deal also comes with added job security for the young Italian, which will see his future secure in case he is unlucky enough to have a long term injury, something more common in football now a days.

Juventus has slowly rebuilding over the last few years, as their team has been one of Juventus’s worst in the last few years. There has been very few light spots in recent times. But the brightest shining one has definitely been Kenan Yildiz, as he has burst onto the scene for Juventus over the last few years.

This has lead to offers coming in from all across Europe, however Juventus is trying to keep Yildiz. Yildiz is also open to the move being a boyhood Alessandro Del Piero and Juventus fan. When a player of Yildiz’s quality wants to stay at your club you tend to try and keep him.

Juventus’s desire led him to giving him the number 10 shirt for the start of this season, but now they are going further. Juventus are ready to offer Kenan Yildiz a contract extension. This comes from reports from TuttoSport as Juventus are set to offer Yildiz a deal until 2031.

Juventus are also hoping to convince Yildiz to take the deal by increasing his wage to 6 million euros per season. Most of these wages will be cleared up, when Dusan Vlahovic leave’s Juventus. (Read all of the details to Dusan leaving) This improved wage is key to Juventus’s keeping Yildiz.

This is especially true considering the fact that most of his other teams can make better offers. English and Spanish teams, can offer Yildiz increased wages then Juventus can. So, this raise while it still falls short of the other offers it is likely the best Juventus can offer right now.

AC Milan, underwent a rapid overhaul in the summer, replacing most of the players in their starting eleven. This was due to the side having an average eleven, finishing ninth the season before. This came as they had found what they believe to be their manager for the future, Massimiliano Allegri.

This overhaul has been successful for the Rossoneri, thanks to some new signings especially in midfield. But, most of the improvement from Milan this season has been from the players they kept. Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Mike Maignan have been in the three leaders to step up for Milan this season.

Mike Maignan has only conceded 17 goals this season, as his defence improves his form has as well. This has lead to him to being rewarded with a contract extension. Maignan managed to turn the form around enough where Milan, will make the move to extend his contract.

This comes from reports from Fabrizio Romano via his youtube channel in Italian. Maignan has agreed the deal with Milan, all that is left is him signing the paper. Maignan is set to sign a deal which will keep him in Milan until the end of the 2030/31 season.

This will keep him in Milan, until he is 35-years-old. While this is old for outfield players, for goalkeepers they don’t take the same physical toll. Maignan could play at a high level up until the age of 35 if not longer. He will also earn a reasonable middle ground in salary for both parties.

Milan and Maignan looked to have huge differences over wages, which led to him being linked to other clubs. Bayern Munich and Juventus where the team he where closest to, but he will stay in Milan. Maignan is set to earn 5 million euros per season, with an additional two in bonuses.
