Fiorentina reach out to Rossi
Fiorentina aim to celebrate a Champions League spot by signing Giuseppe Rossi from Villarreal.
The Viola are the favourites to secure a top four finish on Sunday, as they have a two-point lead over Milan with just one game to go.
It is reported the club will significantly bolster its squad if it qualifies for Europe’s top competition and that includes a new forward.
Italian Under-21 international Rossi would slot in perfectly to the 4-3-3 system and has been very impressive this season with 11 goals in 27 appearances for Villarreal.
He is eager for a move back to the peninsula after a brief spell at Parma on loan failed to find him a more permanent solution.
According to Spanish newspaper As, Fiorentina have already had a £19m offer turned down.
Milan are also interested and would hand over Ricardo Oliveira as part of the deal.
