Fiorentina have reportedly reached an agreement with Leeds United to sign Italian winger Willy Gnonto, with the 22-year-old now closing in on a return to Italian football.
The deal is understood to be structured as a loan with an option to buy, with reports indicating that an agreement has been reached between the two clubs.
Gnonto Set for Serie A Return
Fiorentina have moved quickly to strengthen their attacking options before the transfer deadline, identifying Willy Gnonto as a key target.
The Italian international has struggled for consistent starting opportunities at Leeds, and a move to Fiorentina could give him the chance to play a more prominent role.
It would also mark Gnonto's first opportunity to play in Serie A at senior level, despite being one of Italy's most recognisable young attacking talents.
Loan Deal With Option to Buy
The proposed agreement is expected to see Gnonto initially join Fiorentina on loan, with an option included for the Serie A side to make the transfer permanent.
Final formalities are still required before the move can be officially confirmed, but the deal represents a major step towards Gnonto leaving Elland Road.
A Fresh Start for the Italian Winger
Gnonto remains a highly talented player, and Fiorentina will hope that a return to his home country can help him rediscover his best form.
For Leeds, the move could create space for further business before the transfer window closes.
Sometimes a player simply needs a new challenge — and sometimes the transfer window decides everyone needs three new challenges in the final 24 hours.
Sevens Sports Arena Verdict
Fiorentina are closing in on Willy Gnonto after reaching an agreement with Leeds United.
The Italian winger appears set for a return to Italy, with a loan-to-buy arrangement reportedly in place.
The remaining paperwork will determine when the transfer becomes official, but Gnonto to Fiorentina is now firmly heading towards the finish line.
