Hoffenheim midfielder Florian Grillitsch is a step away from joining Fiorentina.

The Viola will sign Grillitsch in a Bosman deal at the end of the month.

Agent Kristian Bereit appeared to confirm a move to the Viola was being worked on, as he published a photograph on social media that was taken of the Florence sky-line across the Arno river.

Grillitsch is likely to wait a couple of weeks after suffering a leg strain.

However, everything is in place for the Austria midfielder to move to Florence this summer.
