While Lille forward Jonathan Ikone has arrived for his medical, Fiorentina are also linked with a free transfer for Flamengo right-back Joao Lucas.
Ikone flew in this morning and posed with supporters as he went in for the first part of his medical today.
The transfer from LOSC is believed to be worth €14m plus €1m in bonuses and a 15 per cent cut of any future sale.
Now Tuttomercatoweb and Urubu Interativo claim that another January reinforcement is on the way for Vincenzo Italiano’s side.
That would be right-back Joao Lucas, who is negotiating a contract termination by mutual consent with Flamengo after his loan spell at Cuiaba.
The 23-year-old made 36 competitive appearances this season, providing two assists.

Real steal. How come he is leaving a UCL team to non-ucl team.
Real question is why is he joining now in January when they have Vlahovic, maybe Dusan on his way to AC Milan in Jan transfer window.
i still expect Vlahovic to extend. Fiorentina is adding pieces to push them towards the top 4
Justin M, your expectations are funny. Even if they make top4, next season they will be back where they belong(top10). There simply no single reason to extend even id they rise they offer.
Mourinho shoes..
You don’t talk like that man.this is football, anything can happen..
Who ever believed Atalanta would be competing for the European spot, actually no one, not even me..
Forza viola !!

You think ikone is a outright replacement for vlahovic?
Have you ever seen either player ,play?
Ikones transfer have nothing with vlahovic to do. He is a reinforcement at the right wing to push the awful callejon out of the starting XI.

Vlahovic are to good for the viola even if they would get a top four finish.
Vlahovic will go to a top European club that can compete to win the CL not just participating.
