Adrián Bernabé to Fiorentina

Quiet since 24 June 2026. Last report: Gianluigi Longari. Probability when it went quiet: 9%.

Adrián Bernabé's future at Parma is unsettled, and Fiorentina are the club circling. The 25-year-old Spain midfielder is under contract until June 2027, but he has shown no willingness to extend, and that stalemate is pushing him towards the exit this window. Fiorentina are reported to be pressing hard. They are not alone: Sporting have registered their own interest, which gives Parma more than one bidder to play off. The fee under discussion sits between £7.3m and £10.3m, a touch below Bernabé's £13m valuation. The reporting comes from Gianluigi Longari, a reasonably reliable voice, though right now this rests on a single source rather than a chorus. His two updates, from 22 and 24 June, confirm Fiorentina's push and then add Sporting to the mix. Useful, consistent, but thin on corroboration from a benchmark reporter. As it stands this is a long shot. The contract runs to 2027, so Parma hold the leverage and are under no pressure to sell cheap. For it to happen, the two clubs need to settle on a fee, and Fiorentina must see off Sporting. The failed renewal helps, yet nothing here is close to agreed. The money would be typical Fiorentina business. They paid £9m to sign from Sassuolo in 2020, £9m from Fluminense in 2019, and £9m from Atalanta in 2026. A deal in the £7.3m to £10.3m range fits that pattern almost exactly. Watch for a first concrete Fiorentina bid, or for Sporting to firm their interest into an offer. Either would move this from talk to a genuine race.
