The French site revealed that Amir Richardson will move to Italy in a few days to finalize the details of his transfer to the “Viola”, where he will undergo a routine medical examination before signing the necessary contracts, then join his new teammates and prepare for the upcoming season.
Amir Richardson has been playing for Stade Français de Reims since 2022 and his contract with them runs until the summer of 2027, but he hopes to complete his transfer to Fiorentina, as he wants to continue to shine and attract more attention, after excelling in “Ligue 1” last season and managing to reach the national team.
Richardson performed at a high level during his participation with the Moroccan U-23 team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and contributed greatly to the Moroccan national team winning the bronze medal, the first of its kind in history, which made him the focus of attention of major European clubs.
