Viola close on Mammana

By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina continue negotiations for River Plate centre-back Emanuel Mammana, offering €7m.

The links have been going on for several days, but until now the Argentine club has not been prepared to sell.

Now Sky Sport Italia claim talks are getting closer to a deal worth €7m.

However, it remains to be seen whether Mammana will arrive this month or at the end of the season.

He turns 20 in February and grew up in the River Plate youth academy, progressing to the senior squad in June 2014.

Mammana already has one cap for Argentina at senior level, being a regular in the Under-20 side.
