Fiorentina is reportedly aiming to lure Turkish defender Kaan Ayhan back to Serie A from Galatasaray this summer. The center-back previously graced the Italian top flight during his stint at Sassuolo from 2020 to 2023, before being transferred to Galatasaray for a total of €3.2m.
Ayhan, a pivotal figure for the club this season, has amassed 44 competitive appearances, also making notable contributions with one goal and two assists. Calciomercato.it suggests that Fiorentina views Ayhan as a valuable addition to bolster their defense in the upcoming season.
His versatility is a significant factor, as he is capable of performing as a central defender, right-back, or defensive midfielder. Ayhan’s current contract extends until June 2026, and he will reach the age of 30 in November this year.
Despite being born and raised in Germany, Ayhan opted to represent Turkey at the Under-21 level and has since earned 56 senior caps for his country. It is anticipated that he will be included in Vincenzo Montella’s Turkey squad for EURO 2024.
