Fiorentina are evaluating potential midfield reinforcements. It is reported that they are following Udinese's 26-year-old Dutch central midfielder, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, as one of the possible profiles. The Viola have placed the midfielder on their list of objectives for the upcoming season. However, a potential transfer will not be simple, as Udinese has no intention of easily parting with a player who was a key figure last season, having joined the club in August 2024. The club values Ekkelenkamp's transfer fee at a minimum of 10 million euros, and his contract runs until 2029. His current Transfermarkt market value is €10.00m. Ekkelenkamp has 22 caps and 7 goals for the Netherlands U21 team. His previous transfers include a move from Hertha BSC to Antwerp in August 2022 for a reported €5.0 million and from Ajax to Hertha BSC in August 2021 for €3.0 million.
