Fiorentina signs Fagioli on loan from Juventus for up to €19m

Fiorentina has officially signed Italian midfielder Nicolo Fagioli on loan from Juventus, with an agreement for a conditional purchase option that could total €19 million. The loan deal includes an upfront payment of €2.5 million and an obligation to buy for €13.5 million, plus €3 million in potential bonuses. Fagioli, who struggled for playing time at Juventus and faced a suspension for betting violations last season, expressed sadness about leaving the club where he spent over a decade but is enthusiastic about his new opportunity. He will miss the immediate match against Inter Milan due to the continuation of a previously abandoned game but will be available for their next encounter against the same team. This move marks Fiorentina's sixth signing during the January transfer window and has been seen as a major acquisition considering Fagioli's potential. His transition follows speculation linking him with a move to Marseille, which he ultimately declined in favor of joining Fiorentina.
