Fiorentina have opened talks with Flamengo over the potential transfer of Everton, who currently plays as a forward. According to multiple reliable reports, negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Fiorentina remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Colorado and Krasnodar continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Reports suggest Fiorentina are monitoring Franco Mastantuono whereas Flamengo have not been associated with other players at this stage. More on this story as it develops.
