Fiorentina Enquire About Lazio Winger Considered Key to Gattuso’s Plan | OneFootball

Fiorentina are reportedly considering a move for Lazio winger Gustav Isaksen, who is currently out with an injury.

The Background

Since joining the club in 2023, Isaksen has had many highs and lows, but he is widely deemed an important player in the squad. Last season, he competed for a starting role with Matteo Cancellieri, but Gennaro Gattuso reportedly favors the Dane over his Italian compatriot.

Fiorentina Ask Lazio About Gustav Isaksen

According to La Nazione, Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici is planning to ring the changes in attack and is already monitoring several profiles, including Isaksen, about whom he has enquired. The other profiles mentioned are Paris FC’s Luca Koleosho, RB Leipzig’s Johan Bakayoko, Napoli’s Noa Lang, and Juve’s Edon Zhegrova.

Lazio & Fiorentina Tipped to Do Business This Summer

This summer, Lazio and Fiorentina’s plans have intertwined on several occasions already. The Viola’s striker Roberto Piccoli is reportedly the Aquile’s top attacking target. Young defender Pieto Comuzzo was also linked with a move to the Italian capital. On the opposite side, Christos Mandas was mentioned as a potential target for the Tuscans should David De Gea leave Florence.

Why Isaksen Is Unlikely to Leave Lazio This Summer

It should be mentioned that Isaksen had recently undergone surgery to repair groin damage after giving up on alternative therapy. Therefore, the 25-year-old will miss pre-season preparations for the second summer in a row (last year it was due to mononucleosis). Therefore, a transfer remains unlikely this year.
