Fiorentina does not consider Pongracic unsellable and may consider a loan to allow him more playing time. The club is open to offers that would prevent a financial loss. Fiorentina's coach Palladino appreciates Pongracic, but there is significant competition in the team's defense.

Marin Pongračić was transferred from Lecce to Fiorentina last summer for 15 million euros. Despite being regarded as a significant acquisition, he has only played in three Serie A matches this season, accumulating a total of 101 minutes on the field. Across all competitions, he has participated in six matches, totaling 379 minutes. Italian media, including Tuttomercato, have described him as a '15 million euro flop', and Sky Sports commentator Fabio Caressa suggested that he should be sold and replaced with another defender. Although there were earlier discussions about Pongračić potentially changing clubs this winter, no concrete talks have been initiated with any potential new club yet.
