Zalewski is a target for Fiorentina. Changing environment might benefit him mentally as he is frequently criticized whenever he plays for Roma. A new adventure could help him perform better, as seen when he plays for his national team.

Sauro Fattori recommends Fiorentina to consider a swap deal involving Nicola Zalewski and Fabiano Parisi. Fattori praises Zalewski's technical skills but mentions his character issues. He believes this swap would be beneficial for Fiorentina.

Fiorentina has maintained a longstanding interest in Nicola Zalewski, who had been sidelined for a few weeks following the conclusion of the transfer market but was later reintegrated with the arrival of Ivan Juric. With the renewal of his contract with Roma still pending and his current contract set to expire in June 2025, there is a possibility that Roma may permit his departure as early as January to prevent losing him without compensation. A potential swap deal involving Fabiano Parisi is under consideration.

Fiorentina is considering signing Nicola Zalewski on a free transfer at the end of the season. The club's sporting director, Pradè, and his team have noticed the opportunity, especially since Zalewski's contract with Roma expires on June 30.
