Fiorentina are locked in talks with free agent Franck Ribery.

Available since leaving Bayern Munich this summer, Ribery wants to continue his career in Europe.

The French veteran has requested a deal worth €4m-a-year - a proposal that falls inside the Viola's budget. However, agents' commissions are proving a stumbling block.

Fiorentina have pushed Ribery to convince his agents to reduce their demands so to get a deal over the line.

TMW says there is a confidence on Fiorentina's side that an agreement can be found.
