Lindelöf near Fiorentina: Reunion with De Gea in Serie A, ¿fichaje?

Swedish defender Victor Lindelöf is in talks with Fiorentina to join the Italian club as a free agent, according to sources close to the situation.Lindelöf, who left Manchester United at the end of last season after his contract expired, could reunite with his former teammate David de Gea in Serie A.The player arrived at United in 2017 from Benfica for a sum of 31 million pounds sterling.Fiorentina had already shown interest in Lindelöf in the past transfer market, but the 31-year-old player was reluctant to move to Italy.

The former United coach, Erik ten Hag, had also shown interest in taking Lindelöf to Bayer Leverkusen, but Fiorentina has resumed negotiations and talks with the player are progressing.Lindelöf, who won the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup during his eight years at United, is a great friend of former United goalkeeper De Gea, who is now in his second season at Fiorentina. De Gea’s presence at the Artemio Franchi stadium has been an important factor in convincing Lindelöf to join the club.
