Fiorentina are reportedly in talks with Manuel Rui Costa over the Portuguese returning to the club as sporting director.
Corvino returned to Fiorentina for a second stint, this time as general manager, on Monday, and O Jogo claims he has travelled to Lisbon to convince Rui Costa into joining his new-look management structure.
It is also claimed that the presence of Coach Paulo Sousa may tip the balance in La Viola’s favour, the pair having played together in Serie A during the 1990s and represented Portugal in that time.
