Serie A side Fiorentina has reached an agreement to sign Tariq Lamptey from Brighton & Hove Albion in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The deal is reportedly worth up to £6 million, including add-ons, with Lamptey expected to travel to Italy this weekend to finalise the move.
Lamptey is likely to serve as a backup to Brazilian defender Dodo as Fiorentina begins their new season.
Last term, the 22-year-old’s campaign at Brighton was disrupted by recurring injuries, restricting him to just 15 appearances. Despite these setbacks, he contributed two goals and several assists.
The Ghana international did not feature in Brighton’s opening three matches of the current season against Fulham, Everton, and Oxford United.
Since joining the Seagulls from Chelsea, Lamptey has made 104 appearances, scoring three goals, and has established himself as a versatile option on the flank.
In international news, Lamptey has been named in Ghana’s squad for Matchday 7 and 8 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali next month.
