Italy star Kean extends Fiorentina contract with new release clause

“Moise joined the club at the start of the 2024/25 season and went on to score 25 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions in his debut campaign,” the Tuscans said in a statement.

“From the moment we first sat down with Alessandro Ferrari and Daniele Prade to talk to Moise in Cagliari on April 21st, we told him how happy we were with him and his performances,” explained Rocco Commisso. “At the same time I could see how much he cared about Fiorentina and Florence and how grateful he was.

“Since then we’ve worked hard and made a great effort financially speaking to keep him at the club by extending his contract with us. I’m delighted with this choice, which is for the good of the club, our fans and the player himself.”

Kean said: “I want to thank president Commisso and the management team for all the support they have given me since I came to Florence. Everyone has shown great belief in me and I didn’t want to let anyone down so I’ve given my absolute all.

“I also want to thank our fans for all their love and support. They’ve all helped a lot to obtain the results we achieved last season. Their love for this club is an incentive for me to strive to do even better this season, together with the coach and my team-mates.”

Kean had a €52m release clause in his previous contract, and according to Sky Sport, it has now been raised to €62m, but will still be valid from July 1 to 15.
