Fiorentina ready Juan Iturbe move

Serie A high-flyers Fiorentina will reportedly launch a move for AS Roma winger Juan Iturbe this winter.

La Viola have made a great start to their league campaign, and are currently placed third with 28 points.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, La Viola will be given a sizeable kitty to spend in January as they aim to challenge for the Serie A title in the second half of the campaign.

The report adds that the Florence club will seek to land Iturbe on a temporary deal with an obligation for a permanent switch further down the line.

Iturbe could favour a January exit as he is unlikely to stamp a regular role once the likes of Mohamed Salah and Gervinho return from injuries.
