Borja Mayoral is expected to leave Roma in January, cutting his Real Madrid loan short, but Fiorentina face strong competition from Crystal Palace.
The Spanish striker is 18 months into a two-season loan deal, with option to buy for 20m.
However, Jose Mourinho has made it very clear that Mayoral is not in his plans, using the 24-year-old very sparingly and at times freezing him out of the squad completely.
It had been reported that a January switch would be sealed so that he could remain in Serie A, but instead go on loan to Fiorentina.
Now La Nazione newspaper claim that the Viola face stiff competition, because Crystal Palace are prepared to pay 15m to buy Mayoral outright.
Obviously, Real Madrid would prefer a guaranteed sale, especially after Borja Mayoral went on several loan spells to Wolfsburg, Levante and Roma.
His development has not gone the way they hoped and this season he has one goal in 10 competitive appearances in the Giallorossi jersey.
