Fiorentina turn to Burnley and Leicester City for Italian reinforcements

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Fiorentina are pursuing Burnley winger Luca Koleosho and Leicester City centre-back Caleb Okoli as they aim to strengthen their core of Italian players for the 2026-27 season.

Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici and General Manager Alessandro Ferrari have flown to New York to meet President Giuseppe Commisso and draw up the transfer plans for the summer.

According to Gazzetta, one of Fiorentina’s targets is to increase the number of Italian players in their team and have now set their sights on Koleosho and Okoli.

Koleosho spent the last six months of the 2025-26 campaign on loan at Paris FC but is set to return to Burnley, who have been relegated to the English Championship.
