Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano has confirmed interest in Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.

Arthur is available from Juve this summer after an injury-plagued loan last season with Liverpool.

And talks are underway with Fiorentina over his sale.

Italiano said: “We've talked about this situation, we're not hiding it.

"Everyone likes the boy and we'll see. The transfer market, as I said before, is too strange. He's a strong boy, a top-level player and we'll see what happens."
