According to La Nazione, Fiorentina have joined the case to sign reported Liverpool target Marcus Thuram with Borussia Monchengladbach willing to do a deal.
The France U21 international only moved to Germany from Guingamp last summer.
He has enjoyed a terrific debut campaign, posting ten goals and eight assists in 28 starts.
A report by Express.de back in April claimed Liverpool are keen on Thuram, after being impressed while on a scouting mission for midfielder Denis Zakaria.
Thuram can play across the front three, making 14 appearances as a centre-forward and ten appearances as a left winger in all competitions this season.
Liverpool may see the 22-year-old as an ideal option to push Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.
The Reds may have the best front three in Europe which helped them win the Premier League title with ease this season, but they lack top quality alternatives.
It could only take a long-term injury to either Mane or Salah to leave Liverpool with a big void. A new attacking option, therefore, may be a top priority this summer.
Express.de say that Monchengladbach value Thuram at £44 million to warn off suitors.
But the latest report from Italy now claims the Bundesliga club are willing to discuss a potential deal for Thuram as Fiorentina show an interest in the player.
La Viola may see Thuram as a potential candidate to replace Federico Chiesa.
If reports are true, Liverpool could be presented with an opportunity to strike a deal.
