Fiorentina are eyeing Liverpool forward Fabio Borini as they attempt to replace Mario Gomez, according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport.
La Viola have loaned out Gomez to Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas and are eager to acquire another forward to lead the line in the 2015/16 campaign.
Borini, who has become surplus to requirements at Anfield, has been linked with a plethora of Italian clubs, including newly-promoted Carpi, Torino and Lazio amongst a host of others.
Former Manchester United boss and current manager of Spanish La Liga side Real Sociedad, David Moyes, has also been linked with a move for the striker, but he has stayed put thus far.
Fiorentina finished fourth in the league standings last season under then manager Vincenzo Montella and are looking to add more players to their squad ahead of the 2015/16 season.
