Foto is almost done on the Fiorentina renewal, with Luca Ranieri saying the deal is now down to the final details. Sky Sport Italia reported that the agreement runs until 2029 and includes an option for 2030, while Ranieri himself has kept the language cautious rather than closing the door too soon.
Ranieri's attachment to Fiorentina
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Ranieri said: "We are at the details, I am happy. For me this renewal means a lot, I am honoured to continue in a club that is a family, I have been here since I was 13 years old and continuing is an honour for me." That is the centre of the story, more than the contract length itself.
He has already made 3 Serie A appearances in 2026 and logged 264 minutes, so this is not just a sentimental tie being rewarded on paper. His latest league outing brought a 6.5 rating, which fits the picture of a defender Fiorentina are trusting early in the season.
Giuffredi's case for a long stay
Mario Giuffredi pushed the same line in his comments to TuttoMercatoWeb. He said Ranieri "has the pleasure of staying at Fiorentina for a long time" and added that his intention is to stay for as many years as possible.
Giuffredi also called him a "highly underrated player" and said his intelligence makes him functional on the pitch. That view matters because it frames the renewal as more than a routine extension, it is Fiorentina keeping hold of a player his camp sees as undervalued elsewhere.
The open question is only the final paperwork. One outlet has described the deal as agreed, while the public comments still point to the last details being sorted, and Fiorentina's move now looks like a long stay in Florence rather than a short contract stop.
