Al Arabi hopes to finalize the arrival of Jonathan Ikoné from Fiorentina. Local officials have been working towards this for several weeks and remain optimistic, although nothing has been signed and a total agreement has yet to be reached.

Jonathan Ikone may leave Fiorentina in the coming days. Al Arabi from Qatar, where Verratti plays, is showing significant interest. Al Arabi has proposed a lucrative contract worth 4 million euros per year for Ikone. Fiorentina has set the sale price at around 10 million euros. An official offer from Al Arabi to Fiorentina has not yet been made.
