Fiorentina are looking for a new striker in January and the candidates include Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Monza’s Milan Djuric.
The Viola are flying high in Serie A and have already qualified for the Conference League Round of 16 after finishing in the top eight of the table.
Moise Kean is their top scorer with 10 goals, but he has received precious little support from his teammates, so reinforcements are being sought in the January transfer window.
According to Calciomercato.com and La Gazzetta dello Sport, a prime candidate for Fiorentina is Calvert-Lewin, whose contract with Everton is going to expire in June 2025.
Calvert-Lewin linked with Serie A experience
It would be a reunion for Calvert-Lewin and Kean, who played together briefly at Everton.
The 27-year-old has been with the Toffees since 2016 and has four goals in 11 senior caps for England.
Although he scored two goals this season, the most recent was back in September.
There have also been links with Juventus and Milan.
Other alternatives for Fiorentina include Monza’s tall centre-forward Djuric and current Serie B starlet Cristian Shpendi, who is impressing at Cesena.
