Fiorentina have now become the latest club to be paired with AC Milan striker Alessandro Matri.
The Viola are in the midst of somewhat of a striker crisis with Giuseppe Rossi out for three months, while the already injured Mario Gomez doesn’t look likely to return until February at the earliest.
As a result, La Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that the Viola could make a move for Matri, who has reportedly been deemed surplus to requirements at Milan.
However, Matri has been paired with a loan move to Sampdoria and should that move materialise, Fiorentina have earmarked Atalanta’s Marko Livjaja as a second option.
