Palmeiras are close to signing a loan deal for Fiorentina playmaker Ryder Matos.
Matos, who joined the Italian club's youth academy when he was 14, is set to commit to the Sao Paulo outfit until December, reports Xinhua.
The 21-year-old has made just 23 first-team appearances for Fiorentina and has been loaned to Bahia and Spain's Cordoba in the past two years.
The eight-time Brazilian champions, who narrowly avoided relegation last year, have made 13 new signings since December.
