Eman Kospo’s Transfer From Barcelona to Fiorentina Explained
Insights from the Agent
The representative of Eman Kospo has provided clarity on the player’s move from Barcelona to Fiorentina last summer.
The Bosnian international defender made the switch to the Viola for a fee of €850,000.
Agent’s Perspective
Agent Nusret Jashari expressed to TMW: “He still had a year remaining on his contract… However, I was confident that he needed to leave and transition to Italy.”
The Significance of Serie A
Jashari emphasized, “For a defender, moving to Serie A is akin to attending a university. I made it clear to his family: ‘Eman must head to Italy to enhance his defensive skills; he can truly benefit from the Italian approach to football.’
He further remarked, “While he excels in attacking, by challenging himself within the Italian defensive framework and Serie A strategies, he has the potential to evolve into a well-rounded centre-back. Hence, we opted for Fiorentina…”
The Negotiation Process
Jashari continued, “It wasn’t straightforward; there were obstacles in securing his release. Even after he completed his medical with Fiorentina, we faced a lengthy wait for a transfer confirmation that ultimately did not come through. Both our camp and Fiorentina were pushing for Spain to authorize the move.”
He candidly stated, “I was initially skeptical, but in the end, Barcelona relented, and he officially joined Fiorentina. There was widespread excitement: this was our preferred destination, especially since transfer day held significant meaning.”
