According to Tuttomercato, there is interest from Fiorentina in Jurgen Ekkelenkamp amid ongoing transfer speculations. Some rumors mentioned a valuation of around 10 million euros, but this amount is not close to Udinese's demands. The Udinese management values Jurgen Ekkelenkamp at more than 25 million euros. An offer that is too good to refuse would be necessary for the Udinese board to consider a sale.

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.
