Reports today confirm that the transfer of Giovanni Fabbian to Fiorentina has reached a breakthrough stage after Bologna gave the green light to the move and reached an agreement with the interested team. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the Fiorentina are about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Fiorentina are progressing without added pressure. In season 25/26, Fiorentina are conceding 1.52 goals per game (32 in 21 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Giovanni Fabbian would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Alongside this, Bologna are said to be exploring Nathan Patterson with Fiorentina likewise connected to Harry Maguire, Tommaso Baldanzi and Jack Harrison.
