The organization has already approved several exits this summer as part of its restructuring strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provided the last details are finalized as anticipated, Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio will join Fiorentina, contributing Serie A experience, adaptability, and offensive strength to the team\u2019s defensive lineup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-1609393493\"
