Fiorentina has emerged as the Serie A team most interested in acquiring Cristian Shpendi from Cesena. The club is planning to secure the forward by June. It is believed that negotiations could begin in January, with the aim of completing the transfer in the summer, potentially to negotiate a lower price. Cesena has set Shpendi's value at 15 million euros, citing his impressive performance at the start of the season, where he scored 10 goals across the league and Coppa Italia. Fiorentina is keen on adding a younger forward to their roster as part of their expanding and increasingly ambitious project.

Fiorentina is considering Cristian Shpendi as a young, economical option to serve as a backup for Moise Kean. The Albanian striker has scored 10 goals this season, and his transfer fee is estimated to be between 8-9 million. His contract with Cesena expires in 2026.
