Fiorentina in talks to loan Joao Mario from Juventus

Summary

Fiorentina is advancing negotiations to acquire Joao Mario on loan from Juventus, with an option to buy for around €9 million. The 26-year-old full-back has struggled at Juventus since moving from FC Porto for €12 million in the summer of 2025 and previously spent time on loan at Bologna. Negotiations are reportedly at an advanced stage, and both teams look for a resolution soon. Juventus plans to part ways with Mario as he no longer fits into their plans, following a lack of impact during his time at both clubs.
