Il Corriere dello Sport understands that Italian giants Fiorentina are considering a move for Villarreal forward Giovani Dos Santos.
Viola have already recruited Borja Valero, Gonzalo Rodriguez and Giuseppe Rossi from El Madrigal and the Mexican could become the third Villarreal player to arrive at Artemio Franchi.
The La Masia graduate has managed to kick-start his career since joining the Yellow Submarine, having managed 11 goals and 8 assists in 31 La Liga fixtures last season.
Dos Santos produced an excellent performance for Mexico in their opening fixture against Cameroon, but was unfortunate to have two goals wrongfully disallowed.
With El Tri taking on hosts Brazil on Tuesday, the 25-year-old is priced at 11/2 to register a goal against the Seleccao.
Fiorentina hope they can recruit the player for a transfer fee between €8m and €10m, with Dos Santos reportedly ready to embark on a new challenge in Italian Serie A.
