Fiorentina director Pantaleo Corvino is hopeful of reaching an accord with Riccardo Montolivo over a long-term contract extension.
Corvino explained the club had rolled out a new deal during the summer, but he is yet to put pen to paper.
Italian reports claim a €100,000 difference is dividing club and player from shaking hands, but that has not dampened Corvino's enthusiasm.
He is confident a solution will be found to bring the deal to a conclusion.
"Before the World Cup we were very close to renewing Montolivo's contract," Corvino told the press.
"And until his agent's comments I remained in that position.
"Fiorentina had found an agreement on the length of the contract, five years to be exact, and the figures. Then the words of his agent changed the situation.
"We have always been clear, so we'll see how things end up. One thing is for certain. Up until now we have not received any offers for Montolivo."
On Thursday Montolivo's agent Carlo Pallavicino had told Lady Radio: "I think that the situation is already progressing, we just have to resolve some small issues which have held up the signature so far.
"I am optimistic though. The club wants to keep Montolivo and his will is the same as theirs."
