Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella is ready to send Micah Richards back to Manchester City.

The Independent says Montella is unconvinced about extending Richards' stay in Florence.

The on-loan Manchester City defender has made only six starts in Serie A this season, despite Montella being happy with his attitude since his arrival in Italy.

Richards' deal with City expires at the end of this season.

The former England international is interesting Inter Milan and Sunderland.
