Manchester United had previously been associated with Fiorentina's Italian midfielder Cher Ndour, and Liverpool was also linked. Liverpool is among the Premier League clubs closely following the 22-year-old, while Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brighton, Crystal Palace, and Hull City also inquired about the player. Reports from September 2026 indicated Fiorentina's asking price was between €30 million and €35 million, and any potential transfer would be impacted by a clause entitling Paris Saint-Germain to 50% of any profit.
