Fiorentina are monitoring David Luiz's situation at Benfica.
The young defender is a top target for Fiorentina sports chief Pantaleo Corvino, who is drawing up a £7 million offer ahead of the summer market.
In the meantime, Benfica are negotiating with agent Giuliano Bertolucci for his 20 per cent of Luiz's registration. This could lead to Benfica cashing in on the Brazilian at the end of the season.
