Reports suggest that veteran Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano may make a shock move to Fiorentina.
The 37-year-old was said to be considering retirement, after being frozen out at Sampdoria and refusing a move to China, but according to La Nazione, the Viola may offer him a lifeline.
Sporting Director Pantaleo Corvino is said to be an long-standing admirer of the former Real Madrid man, and Fiorentina are in need of a replacement for Mauro Zarate who is set to join Watford.

Cassano has confirmed that he has requested that Sampdoria terminate his contract, after the club removed his picture from the official website, and denied him the opportunity to train with the first team when he refused a transfer in the summer.
Options for the former Azzurri striker have been limited so far, so it remains to be seen whether the interest from Fiorentina is genuine.
