Derby County want to bring Fiorentina striker Arturo Lupoli back to Pride Park.
The former Arsenal striker was a fans' favourite as he helped the Rams to promotion during last season's loan spell.
He joined Fiorentina for £5million in the summer but has fallen out with the Serie A club and wants to quit.
Lupoli's agent Claudio Pasqualin said: "We are in discussions with the club. Arturo is a wanted man and we are not short of offers."
