Tuttomercato reports on Fiorentina's imminent deal to acquire Tariq Lamptey from Brighton. Fiorentina is close to securing a deal for Tariq Lamptey from Brighton. The player, who has over 100 appearances in the Premier League but hasn't played this year, is open to a move to Serie A. Fiorentina's manager, Stefano Pioli, is looking to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season. The Fiorentina management has continuously shown interest in Lamptey, and the player has agreed to the move. The final agreement and signing of the contract are expected soon.

According to Tuttomercato, Fiorentina has shown interest in acquiring Tariq Lamptey as a potential reinforcement for their right wing. The club is looking for an alternative to Brazilian player Dodò and has set its sights on Lamptey. The London-born player, who developed through Chelsea's youth academy, is reportedly viewing the prospect of a move to Serie A favorably. Although Lamptey is under contract with Brighton until next June, discussions are in progress as the two clubs have yet to agree on a transfer fee. Fiorentina is prepared to offer between 6 and 7 million euros, while Brighton is demanding at least 10 million euros. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming days, with the possibility that Brighton may reconsider its stance, despite currently holding firm on their valuation, even if it means potentially losing Lamptey for free next summer.

Fiorentina has expressed strong interest in signing Tariq Lamptey from Brighton as a backup option for Dodò on the right wing. With his contract set to expire next June, Fiorentina has already made initial contact with Brighton's management to facilitate his transfer soon. Lamptey, who holds both English and Ghanaian citizenship, has seen his career impacted by two major injuries. The 23-year-old right-back, who moved to Brighton in 2020 after progressing through Chelsea's youth ranks, was sidelined due to a muscular thigh injury in the 2020-2021 season and a knee injury in 2023. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €11 million. Should Lamptey make the move to Fiorentina, Niccolò Fortini might be loaned out to another Serie A club for a season. Torino, Empoli, Genoa, and Cagliari have shown interest in Fortini, though he reportedly prefers to remain in Florence.
