Fiorentina Secures Atta Amidst Gosens Departure

Fiorentina is making swift moves in the transfer market. Arthur Atta has completed his medical examinations for a potential €40 million transfer from Udinese. Concurrently, Robin Gosens, a target for Schalke 04, has been sidelined and appears resistant to leaving the club.

The Viola have commenced their pre-season preparations at their Viola Park facility. New coach Fabio Grosso recently held his introductory press conference.

Atta Joins Fiorentina, While Gosens Is Pushed Out

Reports indicated a rapid agreement with Udinese for midfielder Atta, with an initial fee of €25-30 million, and Udinese retaining a 30% share of any future sale. This suggests an expected final valuation of €40 million for the player.

Atta was seen arriving at the Fiorentina camp for his medical tests within hours of the reports. He is expected to sign a four-year contract, earning approximately €1.3 million per season.

Meanwhile, both Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia report that Gosens has been informed he is not part of Fiorentina's future plans and will not participate in pre-season training. This move is intended to pressure him into a transfer, thereby reducing the wage bill before his contract expires in June 2028.

There is a strong determination from the club, with Bild claiming that Gosens could be sold for a nominal fee of just €1 million.

Schalke 04 has shown interest, but Sky Sport Italia cautions that convincing Gosens to agree to the transfer may prove challenging, as he reportedly feels let down by Fiorentina.

This situation is not entirely new, as Gosens was previously close to a move to Nottingham Forest in January before deciding against it.

English Translation:

Fiorentina is moving fast, as Arthur Atta underwent his medicals today for a €40m move from Udinese, but Schalke 04 target Robin Gosens was frozen out and is digging his heels in.

The Viola are already beginning pre-season preparations at their Viola Park complex and today new coach Fabio Grosso held his presentation press conference.

Atta Arrives for Fiorentina, but Gosens Pushed Out

It had already been reported that a lightning fast deal was struck with Udinese for midfielder Atta, arriving for €25-30m, but leaving Udinese a 30 per cent cut of his future sale fee.

That means they expect the ultimate valuation for the player to be €40m.

Within hours, Atta was pictured arriving at the Fiorentina camp for his medical tests.

He is set to sign a four-year contract with wages worth around €1.3m per season.

Meanwhile, Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia both report that Gosens has been informed he is not part of the Fiorentina project, so will not even participate in pre-season training.

It is their attempt to freeze him out and force a transfer to get his wages off the books before his contract expires in June 2028.

They are so determined that Bild claim he could be sold for a nominal fee of just €1m.

Schalke 04 are known to be interested, but Sky Sport Italia warn that getting Gosens to agree to the move might be difficult, as he feels let down by the Viola.

It isn’t entirely a new issue, as Gosens had been on the verge of a move to Nottingham Forest in January when he pumped the brakes.
