Fiorentina have confirmed they're in talks with Manchester United midfielder Anderson.
Anderson is expected to move to the Viola for a fee of €5 million.
"Yes, we are negotiating for Anderson, but at the same time we have other objectives too," Viola director Daniele Prade told Sport Mediaset.
"There are many forwards we are looking at, many of whom haven't been linked to us in the papers."
Coach Vincenzo Montella also confirmed their bid for former Porto man Anderson.
"He is certainly a very good midfielder. I prefer to seek experienced players at this point, seeing as we have promising youngsters in the squad already."
