Fiorentina has not entered negotiations to terminate the contract with Alexander Kokorin, and the club has dismissed circulating rumors as unfounded. This clarification comes amidst ongoing chatter in the media, but there is no reality to any suggestion of an impending split with the Russian forward.
There is no credible indication that Fiorentina plans to end the deal with Kokorin. The club has reiterated that contract discussions of this nature are not on the table, contradicting persistent speculation that has lingered for some time.
Kokorin returned to the pitch after a months-long absence when he lined up for his team in a Serie A fixture against Napoli. Four minutes before the final whistle, Artur Cabral came on to influence the game by winning a free kick, but the Russian striker did not add to the scores. That appearance marked his only action on the field for the season so far.
The player, who joined Fiorentina from Spartak Moscow in the winter transfer window of 2021, has been part of the squad for several campaigns. At 31 years old, Kokorin has appeared in a handful of league matches this season, totaling limited playing time and opportunities in the attacking department.
Over the current league campaign, Kokorin has made six appearances in Serie A, without finding the back of the net. His time on the field has been brief, accumulating a modest amount of total minutes across those appearances, reflecting intermittent involvement rather than a constant role in the team’s plans.
