The players\u2019 salary will be paid by Fiorentina but there is no option to buy at to end of the term.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst Fiorentina were always considered favourites to capture Odriozola, Tottenham also held an interest in the 25 year old player who was said by <a href=\"https:\/\/football-italia.net\/tottenham-rival-fiorentina-for-odriozola\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">football-italia.net<\/a> to be considering his next move and ultimately he has chosen Italy.<\/p>\n<h3>No Option to Buy Alvaro Odriozola<\/h3>\n<p>With the player tied to a contract with Real Madrid until 2024, they have no desire to sell the player and manager Carlo Ancelotti would prefer him to get game time and be ready to fight for his place at the Bernabeu for the 2022\/23 season. For that reason, it comes as no surprise to see no buy option included.<\/p>\n<p>With Real\u2019s much publicised financial difficulties, the fact that Fiorentina have agreed to pay Odriozola\u2019s salary will help them to reduce their wage bill as they seek to ensure that they are compliant with financial fair play regulations.<\/p>\n<h3>Deal Could Help Mbappe Move<\/h3>\n<p>With these wages removed from the bill, it will help Real in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain striker <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/26\/real-madrid-make-improved-bid-for-kylian-mbappe\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Kylian Mabappe, <\/a>who remains their number one target this summer.
