Radio Viola says the Premier League giants are making plans to sign the Montenegrin star.
Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has previously rubbished reports the youngster would leave the club.
“He is determined to stay here as he loves it in Florence,” Corvino told Sky Sport Italia on Monday night.
“He doesn’t have many doubts and I am happy. I see him destined to become a legend of this club, like so many champions have been in the past.”
