QS: Fiorentina set sights on Milan defender but are likely to be disappointed

Fiorentina have set their sights on signing Simon Kjaer from AC Milan in the current summer transfer window, according to a report.

Kjaer is ready to return after the bad knee injury he suffered last winter and while all attention at the moment is on him making a competitive return for the Rossoneri, he is also in the sights of Fiorentina according to Quotidiano Sportivo (via MilanPress).

Vincenzo Italiano wants a new centre-back and would welcome the Dane with open arms, but after seeing Alessio Romagnoli leave for Lazio on a free transfer, it is very difficult to imagine that Milan will allow another one of main leaders of the dressing room to leave, especially in the same department.

Not only that, but the former Sevilla and Atalanta defender is highly motivated to return to the field with the Milan shirt, having been away from the pitch since sustaining a ligament injury back in December.
