Marco Brescianini is set to join Fiorentina on a permanent deal for a fee of €10 million, with his loan move from Atalanta including an obligation to buy upon the club securing its Serie A status. The 26-year-old midfielder, who arrived in Florence in January, confirmed the contractual terms, which include a long-term agreement running until 2030, in an interview with Italian media. Fiorentina can mathematically guarantee its top-flight survival with a positive result against Roma on Monday night, a scenario that would automatically trigger the purchase clause.
Brescianini acknowledged the challenging situation he entered, with Fiorentina in a precarious league position at the turn of the year. He credited the collective effort under coach Vanoli and the club's management for fostering a focused environment that has led to a significant upturn in form. The player stated that the team knew they had a climb ahead and concentrated solely on that task, leading them to the brink of safety.
The midfielder's career has been one of gradual progression, having come through the ranks at Atalanta. He made the conscious choice to leave Bergamo in search of more consistent playing time, a decision he does not regret, describing his former club as an important but intermediate step. At Fiorentina, he was attracted by what he described as a very ambitious project presented to him, a vision he believes the club's directors are eager to elevate further.
Looking ahead, Brescianini outlined his personal objectives to become a key, established player for Fiorentina and to help the team reach European competition beyond the Conference League, a level he feels matches the club's stature. He admitted that a lack of playing time in the first part of the season and recent minor physical issues have prevented fans from seeing his best form, but he hopes to display it fully in the crucial match against Roma.
The potential permanent transfer represents a significant commitment from Fiorentina to a player they see as part of their core future. For Brescianini, it offers the stability and prominent role he sought when departing Atalanta. The move also continues Fiorentina's strategy of securing talented Italian players with top-flight experience, adding depth and quality to their midfield options for the coming seasons as they aim to build on the foundations of this campaign.
