Fiorentina have submitted a formal bid worth €11 million plus add-ons for Burnley winger Luca Koleosho, with the Serie A club expecting the offer to be accepted. Sky Sport Italia report that the proposal was dispatched to the English side recently and negotiations are anticipated to progress smoothly.
The 21-year-old Italy international joined Burnley from Espanyol in the summer of 2023 for a fee of €3 million. The potential transfer would therefore represent a significant return on investment for the Clarets, less than two years after his initial arrival in English football.
Versatile Attacking Profile
Koleosho primarily operates on the right flank but possesses the versatility to feature on the left wing or in a central trequartista role. Born in the United States, he holds Italian, Nigerian and Canadian citizenship, providing him with various international options at senior level.
Having progressed through the Espanyol youth academy, the winger established himself in senior football before securing his move to Turf Moor. He spent the latter part of last season on loan at French side Paris FC, only recently returning to Burnley ahead of the current campaign.
Transfer Status
His recent loan spell in France provided valuable first-team experience, though he now appears set for a move to Serie A rather than reintegrating into Burnley’s squad for the upcoming season. The winger has represented Italy extensively at Under-21 level and has earned two senior caps for the national team.
Reports suggest that personal terms between the player and Fiorentina are not expected to prove problematic once the clubs agree a fee. Neither club has issued an official statement regarding the negotiations, which remain ongoing as the transfer window continues.
