Serie A club, Fiorentina, is set to part ways with former Ghana international, Alfred Duncan.

Duncan's departure from Fiorentina is imminent as his four-year contract with the club expires at the end of this season.

Despite making 41 appearances across all competitions last season, including a substitute role in the Conference League final loss to Olympiacos, Fiorentina has opted not to retain Duncan for the upcoming campaign.

The midfielder started his career at Inter Milan's academy in 2010 at the age of 18 and later enjoyed successful spells at Serie A clubs Sampdoria and Sassuolo before joining Fiorentina in January 2020.

While he initially thrived in his first three seasons at Fiorentina, Duncan faced challenges at the start of last season and subsequently fell out of favour under manager Vincenzo Italiano.

Duncan, who began his international career in 2012, retired from international football at the age of 29, citing "humiliation and discrimination by the Ghanaian Federation."

Several clubs, including Cagliari, where he had a standout loan spell during his first season with Fiorentina, are closely monitoring Duncan's situation.
