Pezzella’s contract expires with Fiorentina at the end of next season in 2022, and for now, a contract renewal does not seem close, suggesting that a departure over the next few months is likely.

The 29-year-old Argentinian centre-back made 32 Serie A appearances this season for La Viola, for a total of 2748 minutes. In that time, he scored one goal, provided two assists and helped the side keep six clean sheets.
