Inter Milan Miss Out – Genoa Star Closing In On Fiorentina Move

Inter Milan are set to miss out on major target Albert Gudmundsson, as Fiorentina are closing in on a deal to sign him from Genoa.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that La Viola could complete a deal for the Icelander in the next couple days.

This according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInterNews. They report that La Viola have made a bid for an €18 million paid loan with a €6 million purchase obligation.

Gudmundsson has been marked out as one of Inter’s major targets for the summer transfer window.

The Nerazzurri have been targeting the Icelandic international for months now. Meanwhile, the player himself is reportedly keen on the move.

However, signing Gudmundsson will not be easy for Inter. The reason is simple – Gudmundsson is not going to come cheap.

The 26-year-old scored fourteen goals and assisted a further seven last season.

Therefore, there is plenty of transfer interest in Gudmundsson. And Genoa will certainly look to exploit that by cashing in for a big fee if they are to sell Gudmundsson this summer.

Inter Miss Out – Albert Gudmundsson Close To Joining Fiorentina

Among the other clubs to have shown an interest in signing Gudmundsson has been Fiorentina.

La Viola had already shown an interest in  the former AZ Alkmaar forward’s signature in January.

However, at the time, Genoa had no intention of losing Gudmundsson in midseason. Therefore, they were not ready to listen to offers for the Icelander.

However, the summer transfer window could be a different story.

Fiorentina have identified Gudmundsson as a significant target. They are particularly keen to sign the Icelander as a replacement if Nico Gonzalez is to depart.

And according to the Corriere, the negotiations between Fiorentina and Genoa are moving quickly.

The Tuscan club’s plan is to sign Gudmundsson on an initial loan deal with a conditional purchase obligation.

And it now looks as though Fiorentina could get the deal over the line in the next couple days.
