Watford are in advanced talks to sign Spain international midfielder Mario Suarez from Fiorentina, Sky sources understand.
The deal being discussed for Suarez is believed to be for an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer, but Liverpool are also said to be interested in the player.
Suarez has fallen down the pecking order at Fiorentina and has started just four Serie A games since joining the Tuscan club in the summer from Atletico Madrid.
The 28-year-old played over 120 matches during two spells for Atletico after coming through the youth ranks and worked under current Hornets boss Quique Sanchez Flores.
He has won four caps for Spain and during his second stint for the Spanish club he was a key player in helping Diego Simeone's side win La Liga and reach the Champions League final in 2014.
