The 26-year-old spent last season on loan at Elland Road, having found opportunities limited at Tottenham Hotspur.
He impressed in West Yorkshire, rediscovering his mojo and helping the Whites clinch the Championship title.
It was Solomon who notched the winner against Plymouth Argyle that secured the trophy, meaning his name will forever be etched in the club’s history books.
There was talk of his move being made permanent, although a switch back to Yorkshire failed to materialise.
He instead joined Spanish outfit Villareal on a season-long loan, a loan that now looks set to be cut short.
Manor Solomon set for move
According to reporter Fabrizio Romano, the Israel international is set to leave Villareal and link up with Fiorentina.
The 26-year-old will reportedly head to Serie A on an initial loan, with Fiorentina having the option of making his move permanent.
Posting on X yesterday (December 31), Romano said: “Fiorentina reach verbal agreement to sign Manor Solomon, here we go! The winger is set to leave Villarreal with loan move to be interrupted and new transfer to Fiorentina from Tottenham. Deal agreed today.”
Manor Solomon’s post-Leeds path
Solomon had initially been closing in on a move to Crystal Palace back in the summer before the proposed deal collapsed.
There had also been talk of a shock move to Sheffield United, although it was Villareal who managed to secure his signature.
It has not worked out for the wideman in Spain, with Villareal having afforded him just one start in La Liga.
Having enjoyed regular football in West Yorkshire, Solomon will most likely be keen on getting back into the rhythm of starting weekly.
In his farewell message to Leeds supporters last year, he said: “After nearly a year without football, I couldn’t have asked for a better comeback season and a better ending.
“I really don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that Leeds United will forever be in my heart.
“Thank you again, fans, for the unforgettable past few weeks and all your incredible support and love throughout the entire season. We are the champions.”
