Fiorentina have left Lucas Martinez Quarta out of their squad to face Napoli this evening, as he is on the verge of joining River Plate.
At Stadio Artemio it crossed at 5:00 p. m. GMT.
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s three Serie A games on the Liveblog.
La Viola have the right squad list and are notable for the absence of two defenders who are expected to leave in the January transfer window.
They are captain Cristiano Biraghi and centre-back Martinez Quarta.
According to several media outlets that add to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Argentine foreigner Martínez Quarta is in complex negotiations to return to his country with River Plate.
This represents a comeback for the 27-year-old, who came up through the River Plate youth academy and made the €13m transfer to Fiorentina in October 2020.
The Fiorentina already has its substitute, since the former Boca Juniors fender, Nicolás Valentini, is in the Napoli squad.
