Kouadio stays at Monza until summer: Fiorentina delays plans
Fiorentina's prospect will remain on loan at Monza despite interest from five English clubs. His future will be decided only at season's end.
Eddy Kouadio will continue his spell at Monza until the end of the season. The Brianza club has communicated that it will not cut short the loan, despite pressure from the English transfer market. A choice that mirrors the strategy already adopted by Cagliari with Marco Palestra the previous season.
Several Premier League clubs have trained their sights on the striker born in Prato in 2006. Bournemouth and Brentford have shown their interest, followed by Brighton, Hull City and Everton, the latter particularly active in their inquiries. Kouadio has already collected eight appearances and one goal in Monza's shirt, proving he deserves the trust placed in him by Juric, who considers him essential for the survival push.
Fiorentina's ownership intends to maintain full decision-making power: only in June will they settle the question of keeping him in their squad or selling him to the highest bidder. In the meantime, the youngster continues his path in Serie A, away from distractions. Last February he signed a contract extension through 2030 with the Viola, a sign of the club's confidence. Kouadio is also on the radar of the Italian national team: Roberto Mancini has called him up, although he has not yet fielded him among the professionals.
