Serie A club Napoli announce in an official statement that French right-back Kevin Malcuit will switch to Fiorentina on loan for the rest of the season. Allegedly, this is a pure loan, which is why he is expected to return to Naples at the end of the rental stay.

The 29-year-old Malcuit has struggled to find regular playing time in Napoli after the serious injury that kept him out for most of last season. This season, the Frenchman has only seen the pitch for 31 minutes.

Malcuit came to Naples in the summer of 2018 from LOSC Lille in his home country for £14 Million, with just 35 first team matches featured for the Italian club.
