Fiorentina Terminate Lamptey’s Contract

In a stunning and unprecedented move, Serie A side Fiorentina have terminated the contract of Ghanaian defender Tariq Lamptey with immediate effect, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The decision comes after Lamptey featured for a mere 25 minutes of competitive football since joining the club.

Romano reported the news via his official X handle stating, “Fiorentina terminate Tariq Lamptey’s contract with immediate effect after only 25 mins played at the club.”

Details surrounding the abrupt termination remain scarce, but sources close to the club suggest that the decision was mutual or based on internal factors that emerged immediately after the player’s limited game time.

Lamptey, known for his explosive pace and versatility as a wing-back, joined the Viola during the recent transfer window but failed to settle into the squad.

The 24-year-old former Brighton & Hove Albion star now finds himself a free agent, able to negotiate with clubs outside the transfer window.

Fiorentina have not released an official statement, but the move raises serious questions about the club’s recruitment strategy and what transpired behind the scenes after just over one half of football.
