Amauri on brink of Fiorentina switch

Brazilian striker Amauri is undergoing a medical at Fiorentina after having fallen out of favor at Juventus.

Amauri has not made a single appearance for Juventus this season since returning in the offseason from a loan spell at Parma.

Fiorentina confirmed Tuesday on its Twitter account that Amauri is having a medical, and the Serie A side released a picture of an official team shirt with Amauri's name on the back.

Juventus paid Palermo ?22.8 million in May 2008 for Amauri, but the forward has struggled at the Serie A giant and is not wanted by coach Antonio Conte.
