The striker, who at the age of 25 is experiencing the best period of his career, has been a key player for Fiorentina’s good results this season.

At the Metropolitano, they see Kean as a real option to bolster their attacking line, which could undergo significant changes in the upcoming transfer window.
What can we expect?? – A dynamic striker duo or bitter competitors!
Atlético’s sporting management is keeping open the possibility of signing a striker who can bring both fresh energy and goals – something Kean has shown time and time again.
