Fiorentina approaches Sassuolo for Thorstvedt, demands €15 million
Fiorentina are in talks with Sassuolo to bring back Thorstvedt, who is currently playing in the World Cup. Their demand is €15 million, with the possibility of including Simon Sohm.
Fiorentina are set to meet with Sassuolo tomorrow in a bid to reunite midfielder Kristian Thorstvedt with coach Fabio Grosso, while Besiktash is also interested. The Norway international is currently attending the World Cup with his team-mates, preparing for the knockout clash against Carlo Angelotti's Brazil on Sunday.
Thorstvedt has performed brilliantly under Grosso at Sassuolo, but as the coach left for a new experience at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, there is a possibility they could work together again this season. Sky Sport Italia and TuttoMercatoWeb have confirmed that a meeting has been scheduled for Friday between Sassuolo and Fiorentina to discuss the terms of the deal.Viola director Fabio Paratici has already held a meeting with Thorstvedt's agent to work out personal terms, but both clubs need to reach an agreement. The asking price is around €15 million, but Fiorentina could potentially reduce the cost by including Simon Sohm as part of the exchange. Sohm has now returned to Florence after his loan spell at Bologna.
