Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino has no doubts about Moise Kean’s contentment at the Stadio Franchi, despite whispers of a potential move to Newcastle United.
Kean, whose €55m buyout clause has fueled transfer talk, remains a key figure in Palladino’s plans, and the coach is banking on his loyalty extending well past this season.
The former Everton striker joined Fiorentina on July 9th, 2024 for 13 million euros.
“When a player has to make a decision, he doesn’t look at the money, but at the love of the club and their ambition,” said Palladino.
“Our players have exceptional human and sporting value. David (De Gea) and Moise are happy here. They came from a particular situation and they’ve found love and trust. In the end, it will be their choice.
“He has ambition and maturity, and he can still improve. He is the national team’s present and future. He must never lose his physical condition and work on it daily.
“I believe in hard work and growth. The team is doing a great job, which gives me confidence.
“We had a meeting in the last few hours and we set goals that we want to establish. They know we must focus on one game at a time, with awareness that we can compete with anyone.”
Kean has played 26 games, scored 15 goals, and assisted three in Serie A this season.
