Fiorentina chase Dnipro forward among numerous targets

Dnipro striker Nikola Kalinic is expected to head the list of Fiorentina’s new signings, as La Viola look to close a number of deals in the coming weeks.

The 27-year-old, who opened in the scoring in Dnipro’s Europa League final defeat to Sevilla in May, is joined by Liverpool’s Fabio Borini as a potential arrival at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Tuttomercatoweb believe Kalinic is close to joining Fiorentina after a deal between the clubs was agreed.

Borini meanwhile must choose between Fiorentina and a number of other teams also interested in the Italian, namely Lazio and West Ham United.

A defender is also required by new coach Paulo Sousa, although target Marco Andreolli is reluctant to leave Inter despite the Nerazzurri making it clear the 29-year-old has no future at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
