Rafiu Durosinmi joins Pisa SC on a permanent transfer

Italian Serie A club Pisa Sporting Club (SC) has officially announced the signing of forward Rafiu Durosinmi from Czech side Viktoria Plzeň.

​The deal, which makes the Nigerian the most expensive signing in Pisa’s history with a total package of €11 million (€9 million guaranteed plus €2 million in add-ons), was announced on Wednesday via the club’s official social media handles and website. The fee significantly eclipses the club’s previous transfer record, which had stood for over three decades.

​Durosinmi has signed a four-year contract that will keep him at the club until June 2030. Pisa moved aggressively to secure the 23-year-old forward, fending off competition from several European sides, including reported interest from West Ham United and Eintracht Frankfurt.

​The forward joined Viktoria Plzeň in 2022, tallying 35 goals and 10 assists in 86 appearances. His impressive record includes 16 appearances and 6 goals across UEFA Champions League qualifiers, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Conference League matches.

​Upon his arrival in Italy, Durosinmi will find a familiar face; he joins fellow countryman and 21-year-old midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, who is currently on loan at Pisa from Inter Milan.
