fintech master’s degree

hello! I’m in my second year of economics and business Bachelor’s at an Italian non-target internationally, but target university nationally. I am having a little bit of crisis deciding my path and I really want to do a PhD (out of Italy) in finance about market microstructure, fractal geometry of markets and risk (I already know the topic and I’ll write my bachelor Thesis about it). but in most European Universities a master’s degree is necessary in Oder to apply for a PhD, so my question is what Master’s should I pursue in order to reach the mentioned University path with the best probabilities to get in a good Phd program? I’ve looked into MFE but apparently it’s very hard to get into without strong computing foundations. should I work for a while and study computing and apply for it later on or should I just focus on something else since for me the master’s is only a mean to get into a PhD? thank you for the help
