Emiliano Viviano spoke to Radio Firenze Viola about Fiorentina's current situation and the summer transfer operations the Viola will pursue after last season's disappointment: "I don't know where Kean will go, nor which teams will be interested in him. As for Tottenham Hotspur, I don't really believe it: I know De Zerbi very well, and he has talked to me a lot about the players he likes, but he has never mentioned Kean. Besides, they would first have to sell one of Kolo Muani, Richarlison, and Solanke."
The former Fiorentina goalkeeper then criticized the club's handling of several academy players: "I am particularly concerned about this. In recent years, no team has lost so many talents for free like Fiorentina. I am thinking of Zaniolo, Giraldi, and finally Favasuli. You cannot easily lose these players.
I can understand Juventus being criticized for losing Huijsen, but even though Huijsen is strong, a team like Juventus should sell at that price. Fiorentina didn't earn anything from these talents. And I really don't understand the Niccolò Fortini situation.
Can you explain the Ramtej operation to me? Because I am sure that even if someone explains it to me, I won't believe it. You can't keep Fortini in the squad without renewing his contract, and then bet on Ramtej."
