Fiorentina are still to reach agreement with Juan Cuadrado over a new contract.
After a summer of speculation, where both Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal and Barcelona sports director Andoni Zubizarreta confirmed their interest, Cuadrado saw the transfer window shut still a Viola player.
The Colombian, after talks with management, agreed to hold talks over a new deal. But as yet nothing has been settled.
La Nazione says after several weeks, negotiations are at a deadlock.
Cuadrado is seeking €3 million-a-year, while Fiorentina's latest offer is for €2.2 million-a-year.
The wing-back's buyout clause remains set at €35 million.
