Fiorentina reportedly interested in Theate to bolster defence

The latest updates on the future of Arthur Theate, the Belgian defender from Rennes, who is on Fiorentina’s radar.

According to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport, Arthur Theate is Fiorentina’s new target to bolster their defence.

The Belgian had performed exceptionally well during his tenure in Serie A with Bologna before his move to Rennes.

Corriere dello Sport reported, “Theate’s impressive spell at Bologna caught the attention of Fiorentina’s scouts.”

Theate has been viewed as a key defensive reinforcement for the Serie A club, especially given their current need for a stronger backline.

Sources within the club indicate that Fiorentina are keen to secure the 23-year-old’s services as soon as possible.

An unnamed Fiorentina representative stated, “We believe Arthur Theate can bring the stability and quality we need in defence.”

With the transfer window open, negotiations between the clubs are expected to intensify in the coming days.

Arthur Theate, who is also a regular feature for the Belgian national team, has maintained a solid form at Rennes, further elevating his market value.

Fiorentina’s interest in Theate underscores their ambition to compete at higher levels this season.

As the discussions progress, fans of Fiorentina eagerly await official confirmation, hoping to see Theate donning the purple jersey soon.
