Joao Mario Transfer: Juventus and Fiorentina Near Agreement
Juventus and Fiorentina are reportedly making significant progress in negotiations for Portuguese full-back Joao Mario. Sources indicate that a deal is increasingly likely to see the player move to Fiorentina, with a potential permanent transfer by the conclusion of the 2026-27 season.
According to recent reports, Fiorentina has made substantial advancements in discussions with Juventus regarding Joao Mario. The player is not expected to be a part of Luciano Spalletti's plans for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign. Earlier reports suggested a season-long loan agreement with an option to buy, valued between €8 million and €9 million.
Joao Mario joined Juventus last summer from Porto for €12.6 million. He made 10 Serie A appearances for the Turin club before being loaned to Bologna for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, a move that saw Emil Holm join Juventus on a temporary basis in exchange.
