Pedro Goncalves has explained in a recent interview how his move to Fiorentina came about. The Portuguese attacker, who made the move from Sporting CP to the Serie A club on the final day of the transfer window, says that he did not have to hesitate for a moment when Fiorentina signed up. 'The first contacts were through my agent and technical director Paratici. I immediately said yes as soon as Fiorentina got serious," said Goncalves.
The attacking player made it clear that his ambition has always been for top European football. Goncalves: 'I was ready to leave Portugal, but only for clubs from Europe. England, Spain or Italy were a dream. There was some interest from Saudi Arabia, but that was not attractive to me at all. I want to measure myself at the highest level.'
Goncalves was brought in on loan by Fiorentina. The international indicated that the international match weekend has given him time to get used to his new environment. 'It took me about three weeks to get back to top fitness, exactly during the period when Serie A was on hold. That worked out well,” he says.
Expectations at Fiorentina are high. Goncalves is mentioned as one of the main reinforcements of this transfer summer, along with Franco Mastantuono, the young Argentine who arrived on loan from Real Madrid. 'It is clear that a lot is expected of me, especially in terms of goals. I am ready and looking forward to making a difference for Fiorentina together with Mastantuono.”
Fiorentina hopes to boost its scoring potential with the arrival of Goncalves and Mastantuono. The club from Florence is currently in the sub-top of Serie A and the hunt for European football will resume after the international break. For Goncalves it means a new chapter after successful years at Sporting CP, wherehe emerged as a natural leader in attack.
Eyes are on Goncalves when Fiorentina resumes the competition. Can the Portuguese attacker immediately make his mark in Italy and strengthen the club's ambitions? The coming weeks will show whether this last-minute acquisition actually succeeds in Florence.
What's happening now
After the international break, Goncalves will continue to integrate into the team and prepare for his debut in Serie A. The pressure is on him and Franco Mastantuono to strengthen Fiorentina's attacking strength, especially as the club focuses on a strong start after the transfer summer. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how Goncalves adapts and performs in the coming matches.
