Martin Jorgensen expects to know his future at Fiorentina by the weekend.
The Dane comes off contract in June and has been locked in drawn-out negotiations over a new deal with Viola sports chief Pantaleo Corvino.
"My future will be decided later this week," said Jorgensen. "The renewal or not will be decided later this week when Corvino is back from Brazil. We can talk and see if we can find agreement.
"I would like to continue in Florence, but we must see if we are in agreement."
