Ellyes Skhiri: Fiorentina Eye Move for Frankfurt’s Tunisia Midfielder

Ellyes Skhiri, the Tunisia international midfielder currently at Eintracht Frankfurt, is being linked with a move to Serie A side Fiorentina. The defensive midfielder, who also holds French nationality, has emerged as a potential target for the Florence club as they assess options to reinforce the base of their midfield.

Skhiri, 31, is under contract with Frankfurt until 30 June 2027, meaning any deal would require Fiorentina to negotiate a transfer fee rather than wait for a free move. His current market valuation is around €5 million, a figure likely to form a reference point in any talks between the Bundesliga and Serie A clubs.

Since joining Frankfurt, Skhiri has established himself in his specialist defensive midfield role, offering experience and positional discipline in front of the back line. His performances in Germany have maintained his profile at international level for Tunisia, adding further weight to his appeal for clubs seeking a reliable presence in central areas.

A switch to Fiorentina would see Skhiri test himself in a new league after his spell in the Bundesliga, with the Viola looking to blend proven top‐flight experience into their squad. For Frankfurt, the prospect of interest in a player tied down for another season beyond the coming campaign raises a strategic decision over whether to cash in or keep him as a central figure in their midfield structure.

For now, Skhiri remains a Frankfurt player preparing for the new season, with his long-term contract giving the German club a strong position as speculation over Fiorentina’s interest continues.
