Bruno Conti’s side has been lacking in alternatives for the centre-forward role this season and is said to be lining up a bid to bring Bernardo Corradi back to the peninsula.
Corradi has struggled to make his mark since joining Valencia last summer and fears his presence in La Liga has distanced him from the Italy squad.
Spanish newspapers suggest the club would be willing to release the ex-Lazio and Chievo man for £4m.
