Raffaele Palladino’s decision to target Moise Kean as a key player for Fiorentina likely surprised many Viola fans. At just 24 years old, Kean is already set to join his fifth team, marking a remarkable journey.
Not long ago, Kean seemed destined to be a pillar of Italy’s forward line alongside Nicolò Zaniolo, who has also navigated a similar path across clubs. Despite his youth, Kean faces a pivotal moment at Fiorentina, seen by many as his last opportunity to prove himself at the highest level and signal his readiness for a potential return to the Italian national team.
At club level, there is optimism that Kean can fill the void left by Dusan Vlahovic’s departure. Despite limited playing time at Juventus last season, Kean garnered significant interest from national team coach Luciano Spalletti. His omission from the final squad for Euro 2024 prompts reflection, especially in light of Italy’s struggles with their forwards during the tournament.
