Fiorentina have reportedly reached advanced negotiations to take West Ham United attacker Mauro Zarate back to Italy.
The Argentine had stints in Serie A with Lazio and Inter Milan prior to his arrival at Upton Park in 2014.
However, according to Sky Sport Italia, the 29-year-old is close to securing a return, with Florence his destination.
The report adds that the deal will initially be a loan, with the option to make it permanent at the end of the season for £1.5m.
Zarate has scored five goals from his 21 appearances in all competitions this term.
