The agent of Parma winger Jose Mauri has confirmed the interest of Fiorentina.

The midfielder is expected to leave Parma following their relegation.

"I can absolutely confirm Fiorentina are interested," representative Dino Zampacorta told FirenzeViola.

“The Viola have been tracking the player for a very long time and there has been numerous contact with them even in the past.

“However, Fiorentina are not the only side asking for information on Mauri, as there's a lot of competition. Florence would without doubt be a welcome and suitable option.

“Mauri has great potential and could do very well indeed with the Fiorentina jersey. However, we still need to wait a few days and see what happens at Parma.

“We do not intend to show a lack of respect to the Ducali, so with Mauri we'll decide only when the situation is clear."
