Mario Suarez has been set to make his move from Atletico Madrid to Fiorentina, the day after la viola lost an International Champions Cup game to PSG.
After giving up Stefan Savic to the La Liga side, Fiorentina have made a deal to snag up Suarez to come to Firenze for a reported 15 million euros.
The departure of Savic leaves a huge gap in the defense that Fiorentina must address before the end of the mercato period. With rumors of Mario Gomez also set to leave the Italian side, Fiorentina have plenty of work to do by August.
Now with the addition of Suarez coming the other way from the Savic deal, he is a player that can expect to bring plenty of dimension to la viola’s lineup. Having spent most of his career at Atleti, moving his way up the youth ranks, the 28 year old defensive midfielder departs to seek more playing time, as last year he made only 11 starts and 20 appearances total for the rojiblancos.
Suarez’s success from Spain is impressive, as his last five-year spell at Atletico Madrid he won a La Liga title, a Copa del Rey Championship, a Spanish Supercup, two European Supercups, a Europa League title, and made an appearance in the Champions League final against Real Madrid in 2014.
At 28 years old, Suarez still has some of his best years ahead. His style of play is a mediano type, where he can sit in the midfield in front of the defenders to connect the flow of the game.
Suarez will also be set to play in next season’s Europa League after Fiorentina finished fourth last season. The Firenze club are picking up an experienced midfielder, in addition to him having a Europa League title already under his belt from 2012.
With Suarez’s addition to the squad, we will likely see new coach Paulo Sousa continue to play the 4-3-3 formation that was popular with Montella last season:
Alonso, Rodriguez, Basanta, Tomovic; Valero, Suarez, Joaquin; Rossi, Babcar, Bernardeschi
