Fiorentina are returning to the negotiating table with Riccardo Montolivo.

The midfielder has baulked at opening new contract talks, but with the summer market now shut Fiorentina are hoping for a clean slate.

"From Wednesday we will sit down with Montolivo and start to discuss his future," general manager Sandro Mencucci told SportItalia.

"We will try to continue our adventure together. As for Alberto Gilardino, there have been a lot of rumours and many of them untrue. He is crucial for us."
