Fiorentina Open To De Gea Transfer Offers Amid Poor Start
Fiorentina are willing to listen to transfer bids for goalkeeper David De Gea prior to the end of the season. Director Fabio Paratici is overseeing the search for potential successors while manager Paolo Vanoli maintains public backing for his captain.
Operating between the posts, the experienced Spanish goalkeeper carries the captain’s armband for the Italian side despite mounting pressure on the club’s overall defensive stability.

How De Gea Fits Into Paolo Vanoli’s Tactical Setup
Manager Paolo Vanoli relies heavily on the veteran’s shot-stopping ability and vocal leadership on the pitch. Despite a recent 2-1 defeat to Inter Milan where stoppage-time goals undid a strong defensive effort, the coaching staff continues to trust his command of the penalty area.

Squad planners are actively reviewing younger options to secure the position for the future. Twenty-year-old Tommaso Martinelli remains an internal candidate who could be recalled from his loan spell at Avellino through a special counter-option clause.
Evaluating Market Costs for New Targets
External targets carry notable valuations as the club weighs its recruitment budget. River Plate has set an asking price of approximately €20 million for 22-year-old goalkeeper Santiago Beltrán, putting him on a shortlist that also features interest from other European leagues.
