Fiorentina have stepped up their pursuit of Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare by submitting an improved offer to Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Serie A club have proposed a loan deal that includes a €22 million purchase clause as they seek to strengthen their attacking options. Negotiations between Fiorentina and Wolves are continuing, with both clubs working towards reaching an agreement.
Arokodare is reportedly open to the move and views Fiorentina as the right destination to continue his development. The 25-year-old believes regular football in Serie A would provide an ideal platform to further establish himself at club and international level.
Fiorentina have identified the Nigerian forward as one of their priority attacking targets during the summer transfer window. The club is keen to add more firepower to its squad as it prepares for another campaign in domestic and European competitions.
The proposed structure of the deal would allow Fiorentina to sign Arokodare on an initial loan before making the transfer permanent if certain conditions are met. Whether Wolverhampton Wanderers will accept the latest proposal remains unclear, with discussions still ongoing.
Arokodare has continued to attract attention following a series of impressive performances that have enhanced his reputation in Europe. His physical presence, aerial ability and finishing have made him one of Nigeria's most sought-after forwards during the current transfer window.
The striker is also expected to remain an important part of the Super Eagles setup as Nigeria prepares for upcoming international competitions. A move to one of Italy's leading clubs could further boost his chances of securing a regular place in the national team.
Fiorentina will hope their improved proposal convinces Wolves to sanction the transfer in the coming days, with both clubs eager to conclude negotiations before the new season gets underway.
