Football: Morocco midfielder Amir Richardson close to joining Fiorentina
Amir Richardson, the Moroccan international, is set to embark on a new chapter in his career by joining ACF Fiorentina. The young midfielder arrived in Florence this Monday, where he will undergo the necessary medical examinations before signing his contract with the Italian club.
Richardson, who made a name for himself playing for Stade de Reims in Ligue 1, is expected to strengthen Fiorentina’s squad ahead of the new season.
The player’s transfer has generated significant interest, not only in Italy but also across Europe. Prestigious clubs like Tottenham and Ajax Amsterdam had also shown interest in securing his services, particularly after his standout performances at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he played a key role in helping the Moroccan national team win the bronze medal.
As of now, neither the transfer fee nor the contract duration has been disclosed. However, Richardson’s arrival is seen as a significant boost for Fiorentina, who are counting on his potential and experience to energize their midfield.
