Fiorentina moves closer to target Tonelli

Fiorentina is pushing for Tonelli, the centerback who is owned by Napoli. The deal has started to heat up in the last few hours. Fiorentina's sporting director Daniele Pradé did not discuss Tonelli in his press conference after the club defeated Monza in the Coppa Italia. But as an experienced defender, he fits the profile that Fiorentina is looking for. The 29-year-old was born in Florence, and signing for the club would be a return to home. After spending the year on loan at Sampdoria, he has been returned to Napoli after failing to meet the appearance threshold to trigger his purchase obligation.
