Rumors have been circulating for weeks about Fiorentina's interest in Gennaro Tutino, who is currently on loan at Sampdoria with an obligation to buy. However, it is considered highly unlikely that a transfer could be completed in January due to significant technical difficulties. To facilitate Tutino's sale, the existing agreement with Cosenza, which includes a 2.5 million euro fee and bonuses, would need to be annulled. Additionally, Tutino would have to give up his lucrative four-year contract worth 1 million euros net per season, plus bonuses, with Sampdoria. Should this occur, Tutino could return to Cosenza, enabling them to manage his transfer according to their preferences. The situation is complex and involves multiple stakeholders, making it a challenging task.

Rumors have been circulating both locally in Sampdoria and nationally regarding Fiorentina's interest in Gennaro Tutino. Nevertheless, the transfer is considered impossible due to the terms of Tutino's current agreement with Sampdoria. He was acquired through a loan with an obligation to buy, which has already been activated, rendering a move to Fiorentina baseless as reported by Il Secolo XIX. Tutino, who was Sampdoria's most expensive acquisition during the summer, moved to the club from Cosenza for a total potential fee exceeding 4 million euros. This fee is structured as 1 million upfront, with 2.5 million in two installments due in 2025 and 2026, plus additional bonuses contingent on Serie A promotion. He was given a three-year contract worth nearly 1 million euros net per season, including bonuses. This financial commitment highlights the improbability of the rumored interest from Fiorentina.
