Koleosho: Fiorentina warns Burnley against bidding war with Paris FC
According to Sky Sport Italia, Paris FC has presented a more substantial offer for Italian winger Luca Koleosho, surpassing Fiorentina's bid. However, the Tuscan club has informed Burnley that they are unwilling to participate in a bidding war with the French outfit.
Fiorentina is at risk of losing out on Burnley winger Koleosho, as Paris FC has reportedly submitted a proposal exceeding the Tuscans' offer.
Koleosho Transfer Update
Last week, Fiorentina made an €11 million offer to Burnley and held further discussions with the English club on Monday.
Sky Sport Italia reports that Burnley informed Fiorentina about receiving a superior offer from Paris FC, the club where Koleosho spent the latter half of the 2025-26 season on loan.
Fiorentina, however, has decided against entering into a bidding war with the French club, aiming to secure Koleosho's signature solely on their terms.
It remains uncertain at this point whether the Italian winger prefers a move to Florence or a return to his former club. Regardless, Fiorentina will not exceed their €11 million valuation.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina has welcomed Radu Dragusin from Tottenham. The former Genoa defender arrived in Italy on Tuesday to complete his medical examinations and sign his contract at the Stadio Franchi.
Koleosho made his senior debut for Italy in June under interim coach Silvio Baldini.
