Three teams from Italy's Serie A are reportedly tracking highly-rated Sochaux right-back Sebastien Corchia ahead of the January transfer window.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, Fiorentina sent scouts to France last week to watch the player first-hand, but they would face competition from at least two other league rivals.
Juventus and Torino are the other Italian sides credited with an interest in the player, while there are also believed to be clubs in Germany and Spain keeping an eye on the situation.
Corchia, 23, has been capped by France up to Under-21 level.
