Fiorentina Pursues Manor Solomon While Awaiting Tottenham's Decision

Manor Solomon, who recently made a notable comeback for Tottenham Hotspur in a preseason match against MK Dons, remains outside the English club's current plans under coach Roberto De Zerbi. Despite his promising performance, Tottenham is not prioritizing Solomon, prompting interest from Fiorentina, where he played on loan last season. The Italian club is actively pursuing Solomon's services and employing a strategic approach during the summer transfer window to negotiate a lower transfer fee from Tottenham. Fiorentina's tactic aims to pressure Tottenham into reducing the asking price, which was previously set at 10 million euros when the Italian club's purchase option expired in late May. They hope to secure Solomon for a single-digit million euro fee. Additionally, Solomon's Portuguese passport is advantageous for Fiorentina, as Italian league rules allow clubs to register only two new non-European players per season. His EU citizenship means he would not count against this quota, facilitating his registration. Fiorentina's maneuvering reflects a broader strategy to strengthen their squad while managing transfer costs amid league regulations. The club is currently waiting for Tottenham's response before finalizing any deal.
