Fabio Grosso is a man who knows the value of patience, both on the pitch and in the negotiating room. The Como boss has refused to slam the door shut on a summer move for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, offering a line that will set Serie A tongues wagging. Speaking to GoalZaza, Grosso admitted he would be 'happy' to retain Kean's services at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, but he knows the game of poker being played. Kean has been a key cog in Vincenzo Italiano's machine this season, bringing a raw blend of power and pace that can unsettle any low block. Yet Como are a club with ambition, and Kean represents a statement of intent. The Italian international's situation in Florence is a curious one. He has shown flashes of the clinical finishing that once made him a Juventus prodigy, but consistency remains the ghost at the feast. Is he the man to lead the line for a team dreaming of European football Or is he a luxury asset that Fiorentina can cash in on to balance the books Grosso's comment, 'if something suits everyone', is the tell. For Como, this is about more than just buying a striker. It is about building a squad with tactical flexibility. Grosso wants a forward who can hold the ball up, run the channels, and drop into the half spaces. Kean can do all three, but only when the mood takes him. That is the gamble. The bottom line is that no deal is close. This is the season of the long game, of agents whispering and clubs protecting their assets. But if Grosso keeps his cool and Kean wants a new challenge, do not be surprised to see this one bubble up again before the window slams shut. Football, after all, loves a late twist.
