I know you're wondering why Fiorentina terminated Tariq Lamptey's contract, just read this and you'll understand
Lamptey was a Chelsea academy product who announced himself to the world with an unreal debut against Arsenal in 2019. At 18, people genuinely thought he was the next big thing.
Brighton paid Chelsea for him a month later. He had good spells there but kept getting hit by injuries that were completely out of his control — the kind that just happen to footballers at the worst times.
Last summer, Fiorentina paid €6 million and handed him a long-term contract. New league, fresh chapter, real chance to rebuild.
It never got started.
He came off the bench vs Napoli — 4 minutes. Then started vs Como — ruptured his ACL after 21 minutes and was stretchered off.
25 total minutes across TWO appearances. He didn't play another single minute for the rest of the season.
Fiorentina were reportedly paying him €44,000 a week with no return date in sight. That's over €1M in wages for a player who through absolutely no fault of his own, couldn't stay fit.
So they pulled the plug.
25 years old. €6M wasted. A career that deserved so much more.
Do you think any club will take a chance on Lamptey this summer?

@vanillaspitt ok tell me this, if we became independent how do we untangle and have our own versions of the following….. Health service, army, currency, passports and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Not a chance you could untangle them within 5 years and who’s to say it would even work
