Fiorentina are stepping up negotiations with Southampton to bring Manolo Gabbiadini back to Serie A.
According to La Nazione newspaper, talks are at an increasingly advanced stage for the 27-year-old forward.
Although CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow have shown an interest, the former Sampdoria and Napoli man wants a return to Italy after two years in England.
Bologna are also open to a move, but Fiorentina have considerably higher ambitions and are challenging for a Europa League spot.

An alternative to Gabbiadini for the Viola would be Sevilla hitman Luis Muriel, who has also been linked with Milan.
