Coach Raffaele Palladino deployed Comuzzo in a three-man backline and a four-man defence in 2024-25.

The 20-year-old has made 34 appearances across all competitions this season, attracting interest from other Serie A clubs, including Napoli, Milan and Juventus.

Napoli already opened talks with Fiorentina during the January transfer window, but failed to reach an agreement with the Tuscans.

According to the report, Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal have also set their sights on the promising centre-back who is under contract at the Stadio Franchi until June 2028.

Comuzzo was called up to the Italy national team in November and March but has yet to make his senior Azzurri debut.
