Fiorentina Star AXED From Squad Amidst Shock Transfer Speculation

Fiorentina have left Lucas Martinez Quarta out of their squad to face Napoli this evening, further fueling speculation about the defender's impending move to River Plate. The Argentine defender has been a subject of interest for the Buenos Aires-based club, and it appears that a deal is nearing completion.

Martinez Quarta's exclusion from the squad has sparked widespread interest among football fans, with many taking to social media to speculate about the reasons behind the decision. While Fiorentina are yet to make an official statement on the matter, it is believed that the club are preparing for life without the 25-year-old defender.

The defender's potential move to River Plate would mark a significant transfer for both clubs involved. Martinez Quarta has been an integral part of Fiorentina's defense since joining the club in 2020, making over 50 appearances and scoring 3 goals. His departure would leave a significant void in the squad, and it remains to be seen how the club would replace him.

Meanwhile, River Plate are keen to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, and Martinez Quarta's arrival would be a significant coup for the club. The Argentine giants have a long history of attracting top talent, and the signing of Martinez Quarta would be a statement of intent from the club.

As the transfer window heats up, football fans around the world will be keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding Martinez Quarta's potential move to River Plate. With Fiorentina set to face Napoli this evening, the club's fans will be hoping that the distraction of the transfer speculation does not affect the team's performance on the pitch.

Only time will tell if Martinez Quarta will don the River Plate jersey next season, but one thing is certain - the defender's future is unlikely to be at Fiorentina. As the club prepares for life without one of their star players, the question on everyone's mind is - who will replace Martinez Quarta at the heart of Fiorentina's defense?
