In the 17th round of the league, away to Salernitana, Fiorentina won 4-0 with Vlahović's goal of scoring twice, winning three consecutive league games while also rising to fifth place in the table. According to this momentum, Italino is very promising to lead the team to the fourth place in this season, of course, the premise is to build on the team's main lineup to remain intact, unfortunately, it does not seem to be optimistic at present.
The serbian center forward has suddenly exploded this season, playing in a total of 17 league games so far, scoring a terrible 15 goals and 2 assists, and is currently at the top of the league top scorer list, unfortunately Vlahović has no intention of negotiating a contract extension with the club.
Vlahović and Fiorentina's contract expires in the summer of 2023, in order to avoid long nights, the club's top management has repeatedly proposed to renew the contract, but the Serbian center forward is more willing to leave the team, including Arsenal, Milan and Juventus, many teams are looking to bring in the young shooter, it is said that the treatment provided is very tempting, Fiorentina to keep Vlahović has little hope.
If the club's top brass confirms that Vlahović has no possibility of staying in the team, in order to avoid the depreciation of the real price in the final year of the contract period, perhaps fiorentina will let the Serbian center striker leave the team in the winter window, thus returning the transfer fee of about 70 million euros. In addition to this, Fiorentina's defensive big man Mirenkovic is also worried about some teams, and it is said that AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bring in the Serbian centre-back.
AC Milan suffered a serious injury due to the team's main centre-back Mikel, Pioli needed to strengthen a strong centre-back in the winter window, and the situation was similar for Tottenham, Romero's long-term injury shortage forced Conte to strengthen the center-back. Mirenkovic, who has a penalty of just €15 million, is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates, and the Sevilla centre-back has been quite good this season, sitting firmly in the main position of the team.
In the face of the high salary temptation of Tottenham and AC Milan, I believe that Mirenkovic will not refuse to leave Fiorentina, after all, the stage of these two teams is bigger, and the salary can be improved by a certain extent after joining. If nothing unexpected happens, both Vlahovic and Mirrenkovic are likely to leave the team in the winter window, lured by high salaries, which will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Fiorentina in their battle for the top four of the league this season.
Italino is very clear that once the team loses Vlahovic and Milenkovic, the overall strength will decline significantly, although the club's top management will be correspondingly reinforced in the winter window, but it is almost impossible for the new signing to replace the Sevilla double star for the team, after all, the club's financial resources are there, it is unlikely to spend too much transfer fee to introduce high-level players in the transfer market. It is no exaggeration to say that once Vlahović and Mirrenkovic leave the team in the winter window, Fiorentina's desire to compete for fourth place will basically be shattered, so let's wait and see.
