fernandezFiorentina midfielder Matias Fernandez and forward Khouma Babacar appear set for the exit door this summer.

The Viola will be looking to trim the fat around the squad by selling off some fringe players and the pair now seem destined to become casualties.

According to La Nazione, Fernandez is being pursued by Genoa who are prepared to offer just €1 million, a figure that Viola president Enrico Preziosi deems too low for the once-highly touted 30-year-old.

Babacar, meanwhile, is apparently drawing interest from Premier League side Crystal Palace and while negotiates are yet to begin, it is believed that the club are hoping to fetch a fee between €6m-€8m for the 23-year-old.

The Chilean had a goal and five assists in 27 matches across all competitions this past season, while the Senegalese tallied seven goals and one assist in 24 total appearances.
