Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has not utilized Jack Harrison consistently this season, with the winger only playing 263 minutes in 11 Premier League matches. Valencia had expressed interest in offering him a way out during the winter transfer window, but Fiorentina has now emerged as a potential destination.
Reports from Italy suggest that Fiorentina have reached a tentative agreement for Harrison’s transfer, with former Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani showing his support for the move. The Serie A side is moving quickly to finalize the deal, with Harrison set to join them on loan with an option to buy for €10m.
Fiorentina, currently struggling in 18th place in Serie A, will not exercise the purchase option if they face relegation. The Leeds United player is expected to arrive in Italy in the coming hours, with Tottenham Hotspur’s Fabio Paratici playing a role in the transfer negotiations.
Gazzetta dello Sport has depicted Harrison in a Fiorentina shirt as he prepares to make the move to Italy, with the winger being described as a typical English winger by Italian fans. It has been revealed that Paratici has long admired Harrison, with interest dating back to his time at Tottenham.
In a surprising turn of events, there were brief rumors linking Fiorentina with Leeds United’s Jaka Bijol, but these claims have since faded away. The focus now remains on Harrison’s imminent move to Italy and his potential impact on Fiorentina’s squad.
