Italian club Fiorentina have targeted French winger Franck Ribery, the Tuscany club's sporting director Daniele Prade confirmed on Sunday.
The 36-year-old former French international left Bayern Munich as a free agent at the end of last season after 12 seasons with the German giants.
"Ribery? We like him a lot, but like all the great players he is considering his options," Prade said after Fiorentina's 3-1 Coppa Italia third round win over Monza.
"We want him and would like to have him, but we cannot give tens of millions like the Arab or Russian teams.
"But if he wants to continue playing football at a highest level Fiorentina awaits him with open arms."
