Serie A Team Fiorentina supported Moise Kean on Tuesday after the Italy striker received a flurry of racial taunts on social media after his team’s close loss to Inter Milan.

Following Monday’s 2-1 loss at the San Siro, Kean shared pictures of some of the abuse he experienced from Inter supporters on Instagram with the caption, “Still happening, in 2025…”
The internet criminals “have been reported to the relevant authorities,” according to a statement from Fiorentina.
“The Viola stand with Moise Kean who was the victim of serious racial abuse after the match at Inter in Milan,” the Club stated.
Since joining Fiorentina from Juventus this summer, Kean has scored 15 goals in Serie A.
The 13 million euro ($13.4 million) move was viewed as a risk, but it has paid off for the player and the team.
In a nation where far-right fan groups are prevalent and racial discrimination from the stands is a semi-regular occurrence, Kean has previously been subjected to racial abuse by Serie A club supporters.
First at Cagliari in 2019 with ardent supporters who have committed repeated offenses, reports UK Sports.
In November 2023, Fiorentina was also disciplined with a one-match stand closure suspension after its supporters taunted Kean, Dusan Vlahovic, and Weston McKennie while they were playing for Juventus in Florence.
