Fiorentina are hoping to land the 20-year-old Brazilian sensation Marlon during the upcoming January transfer window.

The Fluminense centre-back is considered to be one of the most promising prospects in Brazilian football at the moment and could be on his way to Florence in the coming months.

According to Calciomercato.it, La Viola have monitored the progress of the youngster over the past season and are now poised to strike after holding initial talks with the Rio de Janeiro based club and the player’s representatives.

The report further states that during the course of the meeting Fiorentina were given a price of €8 million should they wish to complete a deal, though no official bid has yet been made.

Italian rivals Roma are also reported to hold an interest in the player, however, the Lupi are limited to the amount of foreign players allowed in their squad.

Marlon has been labelled as the next Thiago Silva as the defender shares similar traits with the former AC Milan man.
