According to Matteo Moretto, Fiorentina has inquired more than once about Lazar Samardzic in recent days but has not taken a decisive step. Samardzic is still expected to leave Atalanta.

Lazar Samardzic is liked by Fiorentina. Atalanta's valuation for Samardzic is 20 million euros, and the club will not accept offers below that amount. Atalanta rules out a dry loan and requires the right offer for Samardzic. TMW reports that Samardzic's future is linked to that of Daniel Maldini. According to the report, if Maldini stays in Bergamo, Samardzic can leave, otherwise he will remain at Atalanta.

Fiorentina are planning a squad rebuild in January and are looking to add an attacking midfielder, and 23-year-old Serbian international Lazar Samardzic is considered a key candidate for the position. Samardzic is not considered a central part of the project at Atalanta, and several other clubs have also recently expressed interest in him. The midfielder, who has 26 caps for Serbia, joined Atalanta in July 2025 and has a contract until 2029. This season in Serie A, he has made 14 appearances, scoring one goal and providing two assists. His current valuation is €15.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Atalanta activated a purchase option to sign him from Udinese in June 2025 for a reported fee of €14.8 million.
