Fiorentina have completed the signing of Atta from Udinese in a deal worth €25 million upfront, with a further €5 million in potential bonuses, plus a 30% sell-on clause, according to Nicolò Schira of Tuttosport. The move represents a significant coup for the Viola, who acted quickly to secure the player despite interest from Premier League clubs, as well as domestic rivals Como, Milan, and Juventus.
Udinese had been seeking potential buyers for Atta, but ultimately accepted Fiorentina’s offer, which fell short of their initial €40 million valuation. The player has signed a five-year contract with the Florence-based club, earning €1.5 million per season. This acquisition adds further quality to a Fiorentina squad that has already brought in Riccardo Dragusin and Fabiano Parisi this summer.
Atta’s arrival is indicative of Fiorentina’s ambition to compete for European qualification next season. The club are actively pursuing further reinforcements, with Fabio Paratici’s arrival as a sporting director expected to facilitate further significant signings. The quick and decisive nature of the deal highlights the club’s proactive approach to the transfer window.
This transfer provides Atta with a platform to further develop his career in a team with clear European aspirations. Fiorentina’s investment signals a commitment to building a competitive squad capable of challenging at the highest level in Serie A. The deal is a boost for both clubs, with Udinese securing a substantial fee for a valuable asset and Fiorentina adding a promising player to their ranks.
