Overview
- Hellas Verona dropped to Serie B this season with Valentini in the squad after a year of uneven form and reduced game time.
- The center back logged 19 matches and 1,185 minutes across Serie A and the Coppa Italia, which marked a step back from his strong first months in Verona.
- A muscle flexor injury in late summer sidelined him through August and September and he never fully regained a regular starting role afterward.
- Fiorentina signed him but, lacking a foreign-player roster slot, sent him on loan to Verona, where an extension had been discussed with a €3.5 million option for 50% of his rights.
- Local reporting now indicates Verona is unlikely to trigger that option, leaving whether he returns to Fiorentina or seeks another club unresolved after his contentious Boca exit and months without pay parity.
