Fiorentina Ready To Reignite January Interest In Inter Milan Target

Fiorentina are ready to reignite their interest in Inter Milan-linked Genoa forward Albert Gudmundsson this summer.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

It was always inevitable that Genoa’s Gudmundsson would be one of the hot names on the transfer market this summer in Serie A.

The Icelandic international scored fourteen goals and made seven assists for the Grifone last season.

And Inter have led the charge to sign Gudmundsson by all accounts.

The Nerazzurri have been strongly linked with the former AZ Alkmaar forward for months now.

As the Gazzetta note, Inter’s chase of Gudmundsson looks to be on the backburner for now. They are also working on other priorities, whilst a deal for the Icelander would be financially difficult.

However, Gudmundsson would reportedly be enthusiastic about a move to Inter.

Meanwhile, the likes of Roma, Napoli, and Juventus are reportedly all also targeting Gudmundsson.

And there is another club in Serie A who had already tried to sign Gudmundsson earlier this year.

Fiorentina had reportedly targeted the Genoa forward during the January transfer window. However, the Grifone rebuffed their offer.

But according to the Gazzetta, that has not deterred the Tuscan club.

The newspaper reports that La Viola are seriously considering a fresh move for Gudmundsson.

There would be a couple of major hurdles for Fiorentina to overcome. One would be the high financial demands of Genoa, and another would be the player’s likely preference for Inter.

But Fiorentina are ready to try and sign Gudmundsson.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta report, it is also not impossible that the 26-year-old could stay at Genoa this summer.

Naturally, the transfer interest from bigger clubs is tempting for Gudmundsson.

However, by all accounts the Icelander is happy in his current club. He has a good relationship with Grifone coach Alberto Gilardino.

Therefore, the Gazzetta anticipates, Gudmundsson could very well be set for a stay in Liguria.
