Fiorentina have been offered the opportunity to sign Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski, with former Spurs director Fabio Paratici working behind the scenes to push the deal forward. Paratici developed a close relationship with the Swedish attacker during their time together at Juventus and later reunited with him at Tottenham, and that history has reportedly been key in reopening discussions over a possible return to Serie A.
Kulusevski’s standing at Spurs shifted significantly over the past year. He delivered a strong 2024/25 campaign under Ange Postecoglou, becoming one of the club’s most influential attackers. Across multiple positions in the frontline, he registered 21 goal contributions in all competitions and played a central role in the club’s Europa League run.
Persistent injuries then derailed his momentum entirely, ruling him out for the whole of last season. That extended absence has pushed Tottenham to weigh their options, with the club now open to entertaining offers if the right proposal arrives.
Kulusevski’s Future Depends on Fitness
Fiorentina represent a credible destination, though any agreement is expected to hinge on the player’s physical condition. The Italian club are understandably cautious about committing before receiving assurances that Kulusevski can return to his previous level of performance.
Roberto De Zerbi is reported to be an admirer of Kulusevski’s qualities. The manager values players capable of operating across multiple attacking roles, and the 26-year-old fits that profile. His tactical flexibility, work rate, and creative output would make him a genuine asset, provided he clears his injury concerns.
Tottenham’s final decision may ultimately rest on what Kulusevski shows during his recovery over the coming weeks. If he demonstrates clear signs of returning to his best, De Zerbi could choose to retain him rather than sanction a departure. For now, Fiorentina have a concrete chance to add a forward who would represent a significant upgrade across their attacking positions.
