Fiorentina farewell: Alfred Duncan nears exit as Brighton looms
Alfred Duncan’s tenure at Fiorentina appears to be drawing to a close as the Ghanaian midfielder edges closer to a departure rather than a contract extension, signaling the end of an era in Florence.
After four years with the Italian club, Duncan’s journey at Fiorentina is reaching its conclusion as his current contract approaches its expiry date.
At 31 years old, the midfielder finds himself at a crossroads, with his future at the club uncertain as discussions regarding a potential contract extension remain absent from the agenda of Fiorentina’s leadership.
With his contract set to expire on June 30, 2024, Duncan faces the prospect of bidding farewell to the Viola unless a last-minute agreement is reached.
Amidst this uncertainty, speculation mounts regarding Duncan’s next destination, with recent reports hinting at a possible move to England, specifically to Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion.
The potential move to Brighton holds significance beyond mere transfer talks, as Duncan shares a notable history with the club’s current manager, Roberto De Zerbi.
Their paths intertwined during Duncan’s tenure at Sassuolo between 2018 and 2020 when De Zerbi served as his coach, fostering a bond that could potentially reignite on English soil.
The familiarity between player and coach could serve as a catalyst for Duncan’s transition to the Premier League, offering both parties a sense of continuity and mutual understanding as they embark on this new chapter.
As discussions progress, all eyes remain fixed on Duncan’s next move, with the prospect of a reunion with De Zerbi at Brighton looming large on the horizon.
For Duncan, the impending departure from Fiorentina marks the end of an era, while the prospect of a fresh start beckons on the English shores, signaling the dawn of a new chapter in his illustrious career.
