Tottenham Sets 10 Million Euro Price for Manor Solomon as Fiorentina Negotiates

Manor Solomon has impressed during Tottenham's preseason, notably assisting in their 2-1 win over Chelsea where he played 67 minutes. Currently on loan at Fiorentina during the latter half of last season, Solomon is eager to return to the Italian club, which is actively seeking to strengthen its attacking wings. Fiorentina aims to negotiate a permanent transfer for Solomon, whose price tag stands at 10 million euros according to Italian sports outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.

Fiorentina's management is working persistently to rebuild their offensive flanks, considered one of the squad's weakest areas. The club is reportedly trying to reduce Tottenham's asking price by about half, hoping to secure Solomon for a more modest fee. Fiorentina recently considered other wingers, including English player Jayden Philogene from Ipswich Town, valued at around 20 million euros, but quickly denied rumors linking him to the club.

Analysis from Italian source Violanews highlights that Solomon's return remains a hot topic. Despite his strong preseason form with Tottenham, his future lies away from the English club, with a permanent deal preferred. Solomon has declined a move to West Ham in the Championship and intends to wait for Fiorentina's offer. His agent, Ronen Katzav, confirmed last week that the goal is a permanent transfer rather than another loan.

Fiorentina holds an option to buy Solomon for 10 million euros and is currently strategizing to lower the cost significantly. The negotiations are ongoing as both player and club seek a favorable resolution ahead of the new season.
