Kevin Mirallas has been linked to Fiorentina.
No longer wanted by Everton, Kevin Mirallas was linked with a surprise move to Fiorentina this week.
SkySports reported he is being lined up for a loan deal to the Serie A side, having been told he is not in Marco Silva’s plans.
Mirallas, 30, needs to move on with his career and Fiorentina is a good option for him if the move goes ahead.
Mirallas’ former teammate Francois Modesto had a stint in Serie A with Cagliari and played alongside the Everton attacker at Olympiakos.
He has told Tuttomercatoweb that he believes Mirallas would be a strong signing for Fiorentina.
Modesto said: “Mirallas is a quality player, he can play in different roles, he has international experience, he was an important Olympiakos player.
“He’s a great friend of mine, he never created problems, he grew up, I met him when he was 22 years old, he came back to Olympiakos as a man, he’s a professional and will not be a problem for the team.”
The former midfielder added that there are not many players like Mirallas available at the same low cost, adding: “It would be a great deal.”
Fiorentina finished in eighth place in Serie A in 2017/18
