Joao Mario - Heads to Fiorentina Mario has transferred to Fiorentina on loan with an option to buy from Juventus.

Impact Mario departs with a temporary formula again after playing decently at Bologna in the second half of last season, while he was an afterthought at Juventus. He contributed to four clean sheets and tallied 32 crosses (10 accurate), 23 tackles and 25 clearances in 27 total appearances (17 starts) in 2026/2027. His minutes will hinge on whether Dodo will stay at the club and on where Alex Jimenez will be fielded.

Impact Valdepenas debuted with the first team last season and has mostly played with the Castilla side so far, totaling three goals and one assist in 46 showings in the lower leagues. He'll be an extra option in the middle of the defense and at left-back at Fiorentina. Real Madrid will be able to bring back in the future, thanks to a clause, if they wish to.

Moise Kean - Appears in friendly Kean (lower leg) came off the bench in Wednesday's friendly versus Gubbio.

Impact Kean has been handled carefully early in the summer but was able to log some minutes in the second pre-season match after missing two months due to a lingering lower leg injury. He didn't have surgery to address it, and he appears to have improved naturally over time. He'll be the go-to-guy at the position if he stays healthy and will look to bounce back from a subpar season during which he notched eight goals, one assist and 98 shots (27 on target) in 26 appearances.

Alex Jimenez - Loaned to Fiorentina Jimenez has been loaned to Fiorentina from Bournemouth, according to Serie A.

Impact Jimenez is set for a season out from Bournemouth, as the defender will head to Fiorentina on a season-long loan. He would hold a starting role for much of last season until the club launched an investigation into him following some posts circulating online, recording one goal in 31 appearances (26 starts). With the investigation till pending, it leaves some questions on whether he will be an option for the entire season. He will now compete with Dodo for time at right-back, so starting time is not guaranteed with his new club, potentially serving in more of a rotational role.

Fiorentina break transfer record with €40m Atta deal Fiorentina have made Arthur Atta the most expensive player in their history, agreeing to pay a total of €40m for the French midfielder.

JULY 11 • BEINSPORTS.COM

Arthur Atta - Completes move to Fiorentina Atta has completed a permanent move to Fiorentina from Udinese, the club announced.

Impact Atta made 36 appearances across Serie A and the Coppa Italia last season, scoring six goals and providing four assists for Udinese. He previously played for Metz before moving to Italy. The midfielder emerged as one of the standout performers in Serie A last season, drawing interest from several clubs before Fiorentina moved quickly to secure the deal. He joins as new head coach Fabio Grosso looks to rebuild the squad's midfield ahead of the 2026-27 season.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Radu Dragusin - Loaned out to Fiorentina Dragusin has joined Fiorentina on loan for the 2026-27 season, the club announced.

Impact Dragusin joined Tottenham from Genoa in January 2024 and made 48 appearances in all competitions across his time at the club. His 2024-25 campaign was cut short in January 2025 after 24 consecutive matches when he suffered a knee injury against Elfsborg in the Europa League, and he didn't return to action until Tottenham's win at Crystal Palace that December, going on to feature 10 times last season. A regular for Romania's national team with 30 caps, Dragusin now gets a fresh opportunity in Serie A, with the obligation-to-buy structure suggesting Tottenham see this as a likely permanent exit rather than a straightforward loan.

Marin Pongracic - Makes two blocks in loss Pongracic generated one tackle (one won) and two clearances in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Portugal.

Impact Pongracic led Croatia in blocks during the match, but couldn't help them avoid the late loss after conceding during stoppage time. The centerback logged his third start and third appearance in the game. He finished the campaign with 20 clearances over that span.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Riccardo Sottil - Leaving Lecce Sottil is headed back to Fiorentina following his loan spell at Lecce.

Impact Sottil showed some interesting flashes at some point, posting one goal, two assists, 24 key passes and 100 crosses (25 accurate) in 21 showings (13 starts), but he couldn't stay healthy down the stretch, and Lecce didn't sign him permanently for now. Fiorentina are particularly thin on the flanks following the departure of Manor Solomon and Jack Harrison and Fabiano Parisi's ACL tear.

Marco Palestra: Why Chelsea have pounced to hijack Inter's move for flying €55m full-back

Simon Sohm - Heads back to Fiorentina Sohm is returning to Fiorentina, as Bologna didn't pick up their option to buy.

Impact Sohm saw regular minutes, recording eight chances created, 13 tackles and eight chances created in 15 showings (nine starts) across all competitions in the second half of the previous campaign, but Bologna didn't redeem. He'll be assessed by new Fiorentina boss Fabio Grosso in the pre-season.

Matias Moreno - Returns to Fiorentina Moreno will return to parent club Fiorentina following the conclusion of his loan spell at Levante, the club announced.

Impact Moreno made 28 La Liga appearances this season, contributing 33 tackles, 37 interceptions and 130 clearances, showing solidity, commitment and strong adaptability since arriving on loan. Levante thanked Moreno for his contribution as he now returns to Fiorentina ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

Marin Pongracic - 90 minutes played Saturday Pongracic registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ghana.

Impact Pongracic delivered a solid outing on Saturday, winning three tackles and recording seven clearances in Croatia's 2-1 victory over Ghana. After only entering the lineup in the second group-stage match against Panama, he has now started the last two fixtures and shown steady defensive presence. Across those appearances, he has maintained a 91 percent pass accuracy, produced 18 clearances, and won four tackles. Given Portugal's strong attacking threat, he remains a highly likely starter at center back for Thursday's Round of 32 matchup.

JUNE 27 • ROTOWIRE

Marin Pongracic - Keeps clean sheet Tuesday Pongracic recorded one tackle (zero won) and 11 clearances in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Panama.

Impact After not appearing in the opening match versus England, Pongracic entered the starting XI for the must-win match versus Panama. He played very well on the defensive end, making a team-high 11 clearances to help shut down the Panama attack and keep the clean sheet. Given how well Croatia's back-four looked, especially compared to the disaster of the back-three versus England, the team may continue with four at the back versus Ghana on Saturday. There's also a good chance Pongracic starts again over the young Luka Vuskovic considering how well he played on Tuesday.

Dodo - Serviceable display against Atalanta Dodo recorded two crosses (one accurate), two interceptions and three clearances and created one scoring chance in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Dodo continued his decent run on both ends, although he wasn't too effective offensively, and his club gave up one goal. He was consistent down the stretch, registering multiple clearances in his last four appearances, amassing 11, and at least two crosses in his final five, totaling 23 (five accurate). He wasn't as good a playmaker this year after dishing out five assists in 2024/2025, concluding with two helpers, eight clean sheets, 152 crosses (35 accurate) and 59 clearances in 36 matches.
