Fiorentina remain interested in striking a deal for Parma midfielder Simon Sohm, and could potentially close a deal for a discounted price compared to the fee that they had been quoted at the start of the summer transfer window.

Fiorentina circle back for Parma midfielder Sohm

La  Viola had already made an approach for the one-time Switzerland international at the start of July, but the situation is now changing.

Football Italia understands that Parma have lowered their asking price from an initial fee of €20m plus add-ons. The feeling now is that a deal could potentially be closed for a fee in the region of €16m plus bonuses. At those terms, Fiorentina will be able to proceed.

It is possible that representatives from the two clubs sit down to discuss the deal in the near future, potentially within the coming hours, in an attempt to establish terms and settle on a final agreement.

Fiorentina had also looked at the possibility of bringing former Milan midfielder Frank Kessie back to Serie A after his recent experiences in the Saudi Pro League, but a deal for the Ivorian is complicated to pull off due to the extortionate salary that he earns with Al-Ahli.
