Fiorentina are preparing an offer for Manchester City midfielder Fernando, according to Calciomercato.it.
The move would only be made if the Viola lost Milan Badelj or Borja Valero before transfer deadline day, as Milan and Roma have been heavily linked.
Fernando has caught the eye of Coach Paulo Sousa, though he has fallen down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola.
The 29-year-old Brazilian is on the bench for tonight’s Champions League preliminary round trip to Steaua Bucharest.

According to Calciomercato.it, Fiorentina transfer guru Pantaleo Corvino is monitoring Fernando’s situation.
Sky Sport Italia add that Milan are also interested in a possible swoop.
As Guardiola is not averse to releasing the player, he would be available on loan with option to buy.
Fernando left Porto for Manchester City in July 2014 for €15m.
