Amir Richardson’s future at Fiorentina is uncertain, with the club confirming they will only entertain offers matching their valuation for the Moroccan international.
Richardson, who joined the Serie A side last August following a standout season with Stade de Reims and an instrumental role in Morocco’s Olympic team, has struggled for game time in Italy.
The 22-year-old midfielder has featured in just four Serie A matches this season, raising questions about his long-term prospects in Florence.
Despite his limited appearances, Fiorentina has made it clear that they will not offload Richardson at a discount.
The club is demanding at least €9 million for any potential transfer, the same amount they paid to secure his services last summer.
Richardson’s move to Fiorentina came on the back of an impressive rise in French football. He played a key role in Reims’ campaign and was a pivotal figure in Le Havre’s Ligue 2 title-winning season before that.
However, his struggles for consistent minutes in Serie A have fueled speculation that he may seek a move during the winter transfer window.
Reports suggest Fiorentina is open to selling Richardson, but only under conditions that reflect their investment and his potential.
For the Moroccan international, a transfer could provide an opportunity to reignite his career, particularly if clubs willing to meet Fiorentina’s valuation come forward.
The club’s management is said to be patient, holding firm on their stance to maximize value if Richardson departs.
As the January transfer window progresses, his situation remains one to watch closely, with clubs potentially ready to act before the deadline.
For Richardson, a move could mean a fresh start, but Fiorentina’s insistence on a substantial fee ensures that any decision will involve careful negotiation.
