Newcastle, Arsenal and Spurs Watch Moise Kean as Fiorentina Face Summer Decision
Kean Rediscovers Form in Florence
Moise Kean’s renaissance in Florence has caught the eye of several top clubs, and it’s not difficult to see why. The 24-year-old Italian striker has been electric this season under Raffaele Palladino, racking up 22 goals in 36 appearances across all competitions. To put that in perspective, it’s the same number of goals he scored across four years and 123 matches at Juventus.
His goal against Milan at San Siro — a poacher’s finish from a Dodò cross — encapsulated everything that’s working for him now: sharp instincts, clever movement, and a confidence long absent in Turin. “Even in the match at San Siro, the Italian striker was the protagonist of a goal worthy of a pure centre forward,” as Calcio Mercato noted.
It’s not just the goals. Kean has become the heartbeat of a Fiorentina side with European ambitions on two fronts — hunting down Champions League qualification through Serie A and chasing silverware in the Conference League.
Contract Clause Adds Drama to Summer Window
Kean’s standout campaign comes with a twist: a €52 million release clause that becomes active for a two-week window between 1 and 15 July 2025. While Fiorentina are reportedly keen to renegotiate or remove the clause, the clock is ticking. “President Commisso… has been clear: there is the will to keep him in Viola, but every offer will be evaluated.”
That clause is not beyond the reach of England’s wealthiest clubs. Newcastle United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have all been linked, with Calcio Mercato revealing that “the Magpies have already made the first direct contacts with the player’s agent to get ahead of the competition.”
Even without invoking the clause this year, clubs can negotiate with Fiorentina directly. If Kean continues at this pace, they’ll need to act quickly — because other giants like Barcelona, Napoli and Milan are also monitoring developments.
Premier League Suitors Circle for Summer Move
For Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle, Kean offers something different. He is still young but no longer raw. He’s rediscovered his cutting edge and is proving he can be a reliable goalscorer in a competitive league.
“Fiorentina will play their cards, but it is clear that Kean’s fate depends exclusively on their will,” as the original report stated. And when clubs of this calibre start circling, it’s hard for any player — or club — not to start thinking about a transfer.
Newcastle’s early move could give them the edge, particularly if they are looking to freshen their ...
