Tuttomercato reports that although Fiorentina had previously shown interest in Gustavo Sá and followed his development closely, the club did not take a concrete step to acquire the player.

During the off-season, Famalicão's Gustavo Sá was reportedly close to a move to Italy, with Fiorentina being one of the main interested clubs. Roma, Atalanta, and Como were also named as interested parties. These Italian clubs are said to be continuing their observation of the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, who has a €50 million release clause and a contract for four more seasons. Additionally, English clubs are also reported to be watching the player as the winter transfer window approaches.
