According to Italian daily La Nazione, Fiorentina have now started to talk to the Red Devils over Anderson and are hoping to negotiate a lower fee than the €6m which had been previously agreed as a purchase option.
Fiorentina believe their chances of gaining a discount are high, with Anderson not appearing to form part of Manchester United manager David Moyes' plans for next term.
