Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Pisa and Fiorentina could shake hands over the weekend or by Tuesday next week.

Pisa and Fiorentina are currently discussing the final details in the deal as the Viola have accepted to let the 28-year-old striker leave on an initial loan deal with an option to buy.

Fiorentina set new conditions for Nzola’s transfer to Pisa

Fiorentina no longer expect a temporary deal with an obligation to buy, but are happy to send Nzola to Pisa for a €1 m loan fee and an option to buy for circa €5/6m.

Negotiations between the two clubs also concern the salary Pisa will cover during Nzola’s loan spell in 2025-26.
