And the Argentine’s representative has conceded that Musacchio would be interested in joining the Tuscan outfit.

“The boy would be interested in the Fiorentina project, “ Marcelo Lombilla told Lady Radio.

“But we are waiting for the Viola to make a concrete proposal.

“The player’s contract expires in 2018 and his market value is around €18m-€20m – so that’s how much they’d have to pay.

“At the moment, it’s probably a difficult move. But in June, who knows?”
