Fiorentina intensify Gudmundsson and Tessmann talks | OneFootball

Fiorentina are progressing well in negotiations for both Venezia midfielder Tanner Tessmann and Genoa forward Albert Gudmundsson, as Juventus press for Nico Gonzalez.

The Viola are working under new coach Raffaele Palladino and trying to strengthen the squad after coming so close to silverware in the last two years, reaching the Europa Conference League Final twice and the Coppa Italia Final once.

According to Sky Sport Italia, they are getting ever closer to the finish line for Venezia midfielder Tessmann, agreeing a fee worth €6m.

They still need to figure out personal terms with the USMNT star, but have whittled down some of the details with his agents today.

Tessmann had been on the verge of a move to Inter when that transfer fell apart at the last minute, largely due to the career path that was planned for him with a loan first.

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia also warn that Fiorentina are the favourites for Gudmundsson, who could be allowed to leave Genoa on loan with an obligation to buy for over €20m.

The Tuscans had already made an approach for him in January, only to be rebuffed, while Juventus and Inter were also tracking the Iceland international.

Gudmundsson is becoming a priority now because Juventus are stepping up their pursuit of Nico Gonzalez, seen as the alternative now that Borussia Dortmund are unwilling to part with Karim Adeyemi.
