According to @violanews, Sassuolo have shown interest in Simon Sohm, who is not part of Grosso’s plans and is ready to leave Fiorentina this summer.

According to Tuttomercato, Sassuolo has started discussions with Fiorentina because Fiorentina is interested in signing Kristian Thorstvedt. Sassuolo and their new coach Aquilani appreciate Simon Sohm.

Simon Sohm is expected to return to Fiorentina after his loan at Bologna, as Bologna seems unlikely to exercise their purchase option. Sassuolo is now considering a move for the 25-year-old Swiss international midfielder. Any potential deal for Sassuolo is complicated by the high transfer fee, as Fiorentina has no need or desire to sell Sohm at a discounted price. The player's wish for more playing time could be an important factor in a potential transfer. During the 2025/2026 season in Serie A, he made 28 appearances and provided 1 assist. According to reports from April 2026, Bologna considered the €12 million buyout fee for the player to be too high.
