Italian striker Moise Keen (24), ambitiously recruited by Fiorentina this summer, was humiliated at the joining ceremony.
Keane, who transferred to Fiorentina for about 27 billion won by adding 13 million euros (about 19.5 billion won) in transfer fees from Juventus and 5 million euros in performance bonuses, held a press conference on the 13th (local time) and played a huge balloon dart game with Fiorentina youth players at the training site.
It seemed to be the Fiorentina club's original goal to increase expectations by showing Keane's accurate shooting ability, but the ball that left Keane's feet avoided the footy dartboard. In three attempts, only one shot was attached to the edge of the dartboard. The score is 17.
According to the video released by the club, the three prospects accurately put the ball into the dart board with all the correct shots. Keane's miss was thus the talk of the town. The fact that it was not a regular ball can be an excuse, but the conditions of the youth were the same.

Keane was embarrassed and conveyed his intention to stop to club officials. Small applause rang out at the scene to break the awkward silence.
Football media 'GoalCom' is "How much does he make a week?," he wrote, introducing a fan's SNS post.
Keane, a highly anticipated prospect, played in 20 games for Juventus in the 2023-2024 season but failed to score a single goal.
A former Juventus youth, he made his professional debut at Juventus in 2016 and has been through Elas Verona, Everton, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus so far. The best season in recent years was the 2020-2021 season when he joined on loan, scoring 17 goals including cups at PSG at the time.
