Fiorentina are still refusing to release Vincenzo Montella to Sampdoria for less than €3m, with Francesco Guidolin and Gigi Del Neri alternatives.
The Blucerchiati sacked Walter Zenga on Tuesday and Montella is the first choice to take over.
Montella is still under contract with Fiorentina until June 2017 after the Viola sacked him to make way for Paulo Sousa.

Montella is still under contract with Fiorentina until June 2017 after the Viola sacked him to make way for Paulo Sousa.
Despite this situation, the Tuscans are refusing to release the Coach from his contract for less than €3m, which is a discount on the €5m clause.
Sampdoria had another meeting with Fiorentina today, but there was no real progress.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the Blucerchiati believe they can still convince the Viola to budge for Montella.
However, other sources such as SportItalia maintain the club is looking elsewhere.
Del Neri had been the most likely alternative, but now ex-Udinese boss Guidolin is climbing rapidly up the rankings.
Palermo asked Guidolin to take over from Beppe Iachini this week, but he turned them down while noting he was still eager for a return to management.
