Serie A club Fiorentina will look to sign 25-year-old Welsh international Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace this summer.

According to a report by Italian outlet La Viola, Brennan Johnson is the subject of interest from Fiorentina. The Serie A club will attempt to bolster the offensive unit by signing a versatile wide attacker in the ongoing transfer window, and they have their sights set on the 25-year-old Crystal Palace winger.

Per La Viola, Fabio Paratici, Fiorentina’s sporting director, is a factor in the Serie A club’s interest in the Welshman, as he knows the player well from their time together at Tottenham Hotspur. Despite signing Franco Mastantuono on loan from Real Madrid, Johnson remains a target for them.

Brennan Johnson and a career in limbo

Brennan Johnson’s fortunes have not improved much since joining Crystal Palace from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth £35 million earlier this year. The 25-year-old arrived at the South London club in hopes of securing regular game time in the second half of the 2025/26 season.

However, he continued to be in and out of the starting lineup at Selhurst Park, and his output has been a paltry solitary assist in 1,117 minutes of game time across 18 appearances for Crystal Palace thus far. Nevertheless, the Welsh winger’s stock remains high, and an adventure in Serie A may be on the cards.

Fiorentina’s interest in Brennan Johnson is understandable.
