The future of Fiorentina's squad is starting to take shape, and while the club's stadium renovations remain a slow burn, the roster decisions are moving at a much quicker pace. Following a classic survival-securing performance against Genoa on Sunday, the Viola have triggered permanent transfer clauses for two key midfielders, while another loanee appears to be heading for the exit.

Marco Brescianini: A Solid Piece for the Engine Room

First up is Marco Brescianini. According to Gianluca di Marzio, Atalanta will receive €10 million for the 26-year-old, who will put pen to paper on a four-year contract. While he hasn't exactly set the league on fire, Brescianini brings proven Serie A experience, physicality, and a tireless work rate that fits into almost any tactical system. At 26, he's entering his prime years, and with just one goal in 12 appearances this season, there's room for growth. He may not be a headline-grabber, but as a reliable bench option or a steady rotation player, he's a smart, low-risk addition for the Viola.

Giovanni Fabbian: High Risk, High Reward?

Next is Giovanni Fabbian, a move that will have Bologna smiling all the way to the bank. Fiorentina will pay €15 million for the 23-year-old, tripling the fee Bologna originally paid to Inter Milan back in 2023. Fabbian has shown flashes of promise, particularly as a box-crashing midfielder, but his contributions in buildup play and defensive work remain inconsistent. He's still young and could develop into a quality player, but there's a real concern that Fiorentina may not have the patience or the system to nurture him properly. His contract runs until 2026, and don't be surprised if he's loaned out next season to gain more consistent minutes.

Daniele Rugani: The End of a Brief Viola Chapter

On the other end of the spectrum, Daniele Rugani's time in Florence is winding down. Reports indicate that his €2.5 million purchase option would only trigger if he starts another match—a scenario that manager Paolo Vanoli and sporting director Fabio Paratici seem keen to avoid. The veteran defender has become a meme figure in recent years, often unfairly so, and while it's hard not to feel for him, his departure is a logical step for both parties. Fiorentina will move on without him, and Rugani will look for a fresh start elsewhere.

With these decisions made, the Viola's loanee puzzle is nearly complete. The focus now shifts to how these players fit into the bigger picture—and whether Fiorentina can turn these pieces into a cohesive, competitive squad for next season.
