Fiorentina are pondering a move for Udinese’s 18-year-old goalkeeper Simone Scuffet.
The Viola are looking for a replacement for their number one choice between the sticks Neto as the Brazilian has secured a move to Juventus this Summer. It is no secret that relations between the Zebrette and Scuffet have broken down, with the Italian having lost his place to Orestis Karnesis in goal which has opened the door for the youngster to move away from the Stadio Friuli.
According to La Nazione, Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella wants to bring in Scuffet in order to provide back-up cover in goal for current first team starter Ciprian Tatarusanu.
Scuffet enjoyed an impressive first season in 2013/14, garnering many plaudits for his mature performances at such a young age. The lure of possible European football that Fiorentina could provide next season could be too good to turn down for the young keeper.
