Kean-Fiorentina, total breakdown: the player does not want to train

Moise Kean and Fiorentina have reached breaking point. According to Violanews, the Italy striker arrived late for training today and refused to go out on to the pitch with his team-mates. The decision laid bare the rift with the club.

He refused to start

Monday brought another show of character in the bowels of the Olimpico before the clash with Roma. Kean was meant to start, Grosso had made that decision, but the former Juventus player refused. As a result, the Argentine Pellegrino got the nod from the first minute. Kean started on the bench and came on in the 63rd minute in place of Mastantuono, but failed to make his mark in the 4-0 defeat.

Como try: they raise the offer

Como have tracked Kean for some time. He is under contract with Fiorentina until 2029 and earns €4 million net per year. Fabregas's side have offered €35 million plus €5 million in bonuses to convince Fiorentina. The response should arrive in the next few hours: before saying yes, Fiorentina must find a replacement. In the running are Everton's Beto, Inter's Bonny, Chelsea's Emegha, who was at Strasbourg last year, and Icardi, without a contract after his spell in Turkey with Galatasaray.
