Fiorentina are locked in advanced talks with Olympique Lyon for midfielder Tiago.

La Nazione says negotiations have intensified between the two clubs this week after Fiorentina sports director Pantaleo Corvino met with Tiago's agents to discuss personal terms.

Lyon want £10 million for the Portugal international, but Fiorentina hope to talk them down.

An alternative to Tiago for the Viola is Lille's Mathieu Bodmer, who is also on Corvino's shopping list.
