Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace chase Fiorentina midfielder Fagioli

Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace chase Fiorentina midfielder Fagioli Nicolo Fagioli has emerged as a target for two Premier League clubs, with his path out of Fiorentina potentially opening up before the transfer window closes. According to journalist Ekrem Konur on X , both Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are readying themselves to compete for the Italy international, with interest from England growing in recent days. A move abroad is reportedly viewed as part of Fiorentina’s broader transfer strategy this summer, rather than something the club would resist.

Fagioli joined Fiorentina from Juventus in a deal completed last year and quickly established himself as a key figure in the Viola midfield, impressing enough to draw praise even without an international call-up. Now 25, he’d represent an important signing for either Forest or Palace as both clubs look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new Premier League season.
