Elseid Hysaj on Fiorentina’s radar, but ‘rival’ Darmian again stands in his way

Another Italian side has shown interest in Albania national team defender Elseid Hysaj. The Shkodra-born player is currently with the Red and Blacks and has still not signed a new contract after leaving Lazio.

This time Fiorentina have entered the scene, looking for free players for the right-back position. Hysaj is one of them, but the Florence club is also following the situation with Darmian at the same time.

For Matteo Darmian, signing with Bologna looks like a done deal, but Fiorentina is also a possibility. A few days ago Hysaj’s name was also mentioned at Bologna, but Darmian then gained ground. Now the same player could again stand in the way of the Red and Black defender, who aims to play in Serie A once more.

Hysaj has previously been mentioned by the Italian sports press for a possible move to Lecce and Ascoli. There was also talk of a possible spell for the defender in the Abissnet Superiore, but the Shkodra-born player himself rejected that possibility.
