Juventus midfield misfit Sergio Almiron could be headed for Fiorentina, but his agent admits that talks are progressing slowly.
The Argentine failed to make an impression after joining Juve from Empoli last summer and seemed out of his depth in Turin.
Almiron was sent out on loan to Monaco towards the end of last season but an injury prevented any permanent move from being agreed.
Now the 28-year-old could be handed a fresh start at Fiorentina, who are looking to galvanise their squad ahead of their Champions League adventure.
“Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has always been a fan on my client,” agent Claudio Vagheggi told Violanews.com.
“At first there were difficulties in defining the formula of the transfer but now there are talks with Juventus along the lines of a loan with the option to make the deal permanent.
“It could be a while before any deal is done because Juve aren’t in an hurry to send Almiron to Florence and the Viola don’t want to rush any further big investment.
“However, there is a distinct possibility that Almiron will join Fiorentina this summer,” he concluded.
