Chievo Verona midfielder Franco Semioli is just days away from signing for Fiorentina, his agent has confirmed.

The Gialloblu were recently relegated to Serie B and are likely to lose the Italian international as a result.

“The transfer has temporarily stalled as this is not an easy operation to complete,” said agent Marcello Bonetto.

“Fiorentina are following the player closely, but there are some problems between the two clubs as they are not speaking on a regular basis.

“However, I am confident that the move can be finalised over the next few days.”

Chievo sporting director Giovanni Sartori last week insisted that no decision had been made on the proposed sale of Semioli.

The winger is also a reported target for Roma, who had already been paired with the 26-year-old last summer, and Palermo.
