Ruben Akalé is seen as a potential target for Italian teams. The player, born in 2007, is set to become a free agent on June 30. Fiorentina has previously been in talks with him, but it remains uncertain if they will pursue him in the summer when he becomes available without a transfer fee. The adaptable forward has played 19 matches with the Under 19 team this season, scoring 7 goals and contributing 3 assists, making him a possible strategic addition to Fiorentina's youth program. Although Roma and Juventus have also expressed interest, Bologna and Hellas Verona seem to be the frontrunners in the race to sign him. Earlier, Akalé had turned down interest from Como, choosing instead to focus on finishing his education in France. Despite unsuccessful contract renewal discussions with Lille, Akalé is considered a valuable opportunity, requiring only a modest training compensation fee of around 100,000 euros.
