Inter Milan have opened talks with Fiorentina over striker Luca Toni.
Inter patron Massimo Moratti has instructed directors Marco Branca and Lele Oriali to begin formal negotiations for the centre-forward.
Inter have asked Fiorentina to name their price for Toni and Moratti is anxious to find an agreement before the World Cup.
The Florence club paid £7 million to Palermo for Toni last summer and Moratti knows a successful World Cup could easily treble the Italy international's asking price.
