Mateo Pellegrino's name is doing the rounds, but this is interest rather than a deal. The 24-year-old Argentine attacker is settled at Parma under a contract that runs to June 2030, and it is Fiorentina who are said to be weighing a move. The numbers being floated sit between £14.7m and £20.7m, comfortably above his market value of around £13m, with talk that Fiorentina could try to soften the cost by offering a player as part of the package. For now, nothing has been formalised. The story rests on a single source: Gianluigi Longari, a reasonably reliable voice, who reports that Pellegrino has admirers in the Bundesliga and Premier League as well, with Fiorentina the named Italian suitor. That is one credible link, three days old, and not yet corroborated elsewhere. Treat it as a genuine flicker of interest rather than something hardening into negotiation. The 12% reading marks this as a longshot, and rightly so. For it to complete, Fiorentina would need to firm up concrete terms, agree a fee toward the upper end being discussed, and persuade a player with five years left on his contract to move. Rival admirers abroad could complicate matters, and at this stage there is no agreement, no bid and no medical — only a name being courted. The fee fits Fiorentina's recent habits: they paid Udinese £17m in 2013, River Plate £17m and Hellas Verona £17m for forwards, and Genoa £14m. Pellegrino himself cost Parma just £1m from Vélez Sarsfield in 2025, so this would be a steep mark-up. Watch for a first concrete bid, or for one of those foreign admirers to declare its hand.
