Fiorentina’s Resurgent Striker Prioritizes Italy Spot Over Big-Money Transfers
Fiorentina striker Moise Kean is reportedly reluctant to leave Serie A this summer despite strong interest from Premier League giants Arsenal and Newcastle United, with the 24-year-old prioritizing his place in Italy’s 2026 World Cup squad over a potentially risky transfer abroad.
The former Everton forward has enjoyed a career renaissance in Florence this season, netting 23 goals across all competitions – including 17 in Serie A – to emerge as one of Europe’s most in-form forwards. His performances have not only propelled Fiorentina into top-four contention but also earned him a recall to the Italian national team, where he recently starred with a brace against Germany in March.
“Kean has told friends he’s concerned a move abroad could disrupt his momentum,” reports Tuttomercatoweb. With his €52 million release clause tempting suitors, the striker appears wary of repeating past transfer misfires – particularly his disappointing Premier League stint with Everton in 2019-20 where he managed just two goals.
While Arsenal view Kean as an ideal age-profile signing to solve their striker woes, and Newcastle monitor the situation closely, the Italian international seems inclined to continue his purple patch at Fiorentina for at least another season. His decision stems from hard-earned experience: after failed spells at Everton, PSG, and Juventus (where he went an entire season without scoring), Kean has finally found stability under Vincenzo Italiano’s guidance.
Now established as Italy’s first-choice number nine, Kean’s career arc serves as a cautionary tale about premature big-money moves – and a testament to the value of finding the right environment. As transfer rumors swirl, the striker’s priority appears clear: don’t fix what isn’t broken, especially with a World Cup on the horizon.
