Fiorentina could exchange Khouma Babacar with Napoli outcast Manolo Gabbiadini in a dual 18-month loan deal.

According to La Nazione newspaper, the two clubs are in negotiations over a possible switch.

The plan would be to send the forwards out on loan until the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

That would enable them to rediscover their confidence and get regular first team football, but also to ensure the clubs don’t lose money.

Napoli value Gabbiadini at €28m, but might have difficulty selling him for that price during the January transfer window.

He is also reticent about the idea of going abroad, though Wolfsburg, Valencia, Everton and West Ham United are interested.

Babacar is a versatile centre-forward whose chances of playing regularly for Fiorentina are scuppered by the presence of Nikola Kalinic.
