Although two years have passed since his transfer to Hertha Berlin, he scored only 12 goals in the Bundesliga. He has scored only once this season and has made nine games. He spent only 345 minutes on the pitch. He became a reserve, although initially he was supposed to be the new star of the Berliners. The Pole, however, did not fit into the plans of Tayfun Korkut, the new coach of the Berliners, so he decided to return to Italy to sign a contract with Fiorentina. . The club has not officially announced his transfer yet, but it is already known what role the Pole will play.
The Pole will spend the next six months on loan, and if it works, Fiorentina will pay EUR 15 million for it. – We hired Krzysztof Piątek as a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic. We needed another striker, said Daniel Prade, sports director quoted by Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist.
And that means the 21-year-old Serb will almost certainly stay. The author of 47 goals in 106 games for the Florentine club is tempted by the leading teams in Europe. However, everything indicates that it will only go away in the summer. This means that Friday will probably spend a lot of time on the bench, because Vlahović missed only 12 minutes this season (he left the field three times at the end of the game).
Fiorentina is currently the sixth Italian Serie A team to score 32 points at the halfway point of the competition. The goalkeeper of the team is Bartłomiej Drągowski, and in the years 2015-17 the team from Artemio Franchi was led by the former coach of the Polish national team, Paulo Sousa.
Crazy career of the Five
In July 2018, Piątek joined Serie A as an anonymous (for Italian fans) striker. Within six months, he became a candidate to become the league’s top scorer, so in January 2019 Milan bought him for EUR 35 million, which is 30 more than Cracovia earned on him. Initially, in Milan, he delighted.
He fired in series (he finished the season 30 goals in all competitions), although the Rossoneri had terrible problems creating the action. In January last year, however, Zlatan Ibrahimović came and San Siro became too tight for both strikers. The more so because the Pole got stuck. Now is the time to prove that the beginning of his Italian adventure was not only a crazy episode, and Piątek can score goals regularly.
